I have grown this plant from a cutting but I have no idea what it is.
Here is a link to the picture as I am not able to upload for some reason. http://www.leora.net/plant.jpg

Does any body know please?
The leaves are velvety green on top and glitter speckled dark red on the underside.

I would like to find out care and maintenance information but need the name first of course.

Thanks for your help
A Begonia rex.

Good houseplant, likes reasonable light but not too much sun, keep tipping it to encourage new growth.
