The complex network of veins forms a striking, radiating pattern, adding depth and dimension to the plant. The leaves’ surface is textured with noticeable, wavy folds, creating a 3D effect that enhances its visual impact. The bold contrast between the green veins and the black leaf surface makes this Begonia a powerful statement piece for any plant collection.
