Latin name: Begonia rex-cultorum (Jurassic™ series, ‘Twisted’) 🌪️
Common name: Rex begonia ‘Jurassic Twisted’
Origin: Hybrid lineage from tropical Asia via horticultural breeding.
Standout traits: Dramatic spiral (“twisted”) leaf whorl with bold silver, charcoal, and olive sectors; matte-to-satin texture; ruffled margins; compact clumping habit ideal for shelves and desks.

FLOWER DETAILS
Small, airy cymes with blush-pink to soft white tones appear above the foliage, offering a delicate contrast to the bold leaves. Blooms are fine-textured and understated—pleasant, but the foliage remains the star.
