Begonias are a set of tropical shrubs that might not be very notable if it weren't for the fact that their huge variety of flower and leaf colors and shapes have made them extremely popular as indoor and outdoor garden plants, and the fact that different species, surprisingly even ones originating on different continents, can often successfully be cross-bred has led to an incalculable number of varieties. They're also easy to propagate from stem cuttings or sometimes even just a leaf cutting.
Most begonia leaves are asymmetric and multi-colored, leading to striking varieties like the angel-wing, dragon-wing, and nautilus-leaf. Begonia flowers technically have no petals, just colorful sepals, and each plant grows separate male and female flowers for pollination.
Dubiously fun fact: The cultivar 'Kimjongilia' is a floral emblem of North Korea.
