I started my 2 hanging baskets from seeds I got in the Jan. 2017 seed swap here on garden.org. They were hand-labeled "Bolivian Begonias." I noticed early on that the leaves of some plants were medium solid green, top and back, but some had a speckled bronze back. Flowers and growth habits are identical. They seem to be different varieties. I separated them into 2 baskets, hoping someone can ID variety names by this description.
