    This is some kind of Begonia sp., not sure which one. Begonia lehmannii has similar flowers the it's leaves are very rough. New species are still described.

      Thank so much, also for identifying the other two plants :)
      That first link indeed has identical flowers, but the leafs do look different.       Posted 7 years ago
