Begonia Dracopelta x Umbrella Hybrid

Begonia dracopelta × sp. “Umbrella” is a stunning hybrid born from the textured, shield-like leaves of dracopelta and the elegance of the rare “Umbrella” type. Originating from the misty highlands of central Borneo, it’s considered one of the most visually striking begonias known in cultivation. Deeply sculpted leaves give it a dramatic, almost reptilian structure, while soft pink flowers add a delicate contrast that appears during its bloom cycle. A true statement piece for collectors who value rare genetics and bold form.
