Four months ago, I bought this b. darthvaderiana at a begonia show & Sale from Al Palacio. He also sells on Etsy, at ShadyPlaces | Etsy This begonia was discovered in Borneo Malaysia in 2013, growing in the deep shade of wet forested cliffs mixed among other shade-dwelling vegetation. This plant requires a terrarium because it requires warmth and humidity. Because of the dark leaves, it's name referrers to the Darth Vader character in the movie 'Star Wars'.
My plant has been doing really well, adding new leaves and getting taller. I was trimming a couple of bad leaves and was happy to see that it was blooming. I need to get it into a proper terrarium!
