Name that plant

January 20, 2012 3:19 AM

Please identify my mams plant from a photo.

The photo is rotated to the left, but I don't think that matters. It's about a meter tall I guess. It looks a bit scabby because she doesn't know how to take care of it. The flowers are kind of salmony pink.

Best answer: Some kind of begonia for sure, like a butterfly begonia, maybe?
