Begonia wiformis cf. - Greenish ('U577')

Begonia cf. "U577" is a species from Vietnam, initially introduced into cultivation in 2009.  It is an interesting species with showy mostly greenish foliage with silvery-lime central splashes, and a creeping habit.  The plant seems to form a small rosette which sends out runner-like stems that root down as they grow - which also makes for easy propagation.  Clipping the tips back encourages the base rosette to get bushier.  

These are 95% quite likely to be the same as U577, however, I have yet to bloom and/or have their identity confirmed.  Until that time, one should continue to use:  Begonia cf. "U577" 

These are established plants, currently in 2" pots.
