    I've posted these photos on other gardening sites and so far not much info.

    Is this an angel wing begonia? Name?

    It is doing great for me outside. I know I have to bring it inside for the winter.

    Hmmm...definitely a Begonia of some sort, but not an Angle Wing. Maybe a sort of Rex Begonia?

    It does resemble an eyelash (I have one) although the patteren on your seems wider, it's probably in the same family though. Try looking up images of "Begonia bowerae" and compare :-D

    I was told on another gardening site that is is probably "Tiger Paw". It does look like it.
