Identifying a Spotted-Leaf Begonia: Angel Wing or Tuberous?

The plant you saw in Suffolk sounds like a begonia with mid-green leaves spotted in white and pendulous white flowers about 18 mm across. Two common types fit this description:

• Angel wing begonia (Begonia cane-type hybrids): leaves shaped like folded wings, often with silver/white spots; flowers in drooping clusters.
• Tuberous begonia (Begonia × tuberhybrida): leaves more rounded like geranium leaves; large, showy flowers, often double.

To confirm, photos are essential. Capture the whole plant, a close-up of a leaf (top and underside), and a flower if present. Send as JPEGs to a plant identification service or a local horticulturist.

Begonias prefer bright, indirect light, high humidity, and well-draining soil kept evenly moist but not soggy. Avoid wetting the foliage to prevent powdery mildew.
