    Good Morning,

    I recently purchased this plant from Lowes. It is in a 2 inch pot and it strongly resembles my Angel Wing Begonia (except mine is over6 feet tall and has HUGE leaves) but is so tiny.

    Is this just a very very small Angel Wing Begonia?

    Thank you in advance for your assistance :)

    I figured it was an Angel Wing Begonia, but it is so tiny. Even brand new leaves on my big plant are huge when compared to the biggest leaf on this small plant.

    Hope it stays tiny and cute...I don't need 2 monster plants in my office.

    Thanks for your help,
    Lena

    There is a dwarf variety of the Angelwing Begonia, that could be what you have.

    It is indeed Angel Wing begonia. I had one just like it a few years back. Don`t let the small size fool you. It will fill whatever size pot it is in.

    Looks like the "Trout Wing Begonia" my husband's grandma gave me years ago. Maybe it's just another name for Baby Angel Wing :D Mine was small but it was also in a small pot on the coffee table. If I remember correctly it had little whitish flowers

    Trout-wing is another colloquial name for the Angel-wing Begonia.....so yeah, they are the same plant. ;)
