'merry xmas' looks very close, but... it looks like it has 3 points on the leaf and the leaf is somewhat longer, and mine has clearly many more tips all around and the leaf is sort of wider and it also has more pronounced burgundy around central veins - could it be culture/light though?
mine also has little hairs on the leaf. and that red throat is very distinctive. should it be always present? i know begonias are very variable and culture plays a big role in color. and 'merry xmas' is the only one one with similar polka-dots and overall color - so, @LAbegoniac , what's your opinion?
