but what kind? i can't find anything similar at all .
the seller at the green market had a few unusual plants, but did not know the names. He said it's some kind of rhizomatous begonia, but to me it looks more like cane begonia - it branches like crazy! and leaves are set in very densely together.
there is even a little flower emerging from under the leaf at the tip - that looks like begonia type flower.
there is a noticeable swirl to the leaves, but they are very round.
underside is burgundy and stem is heavily branching - so looks like almost a trailer.
leaves are very fleshy and hairy and there is burgundy cast to the leaves and young growth is quite red.
