Oblique-leaved Begonia features delicate, pendulous pink blossoms set against a dense, verdant jungle backdrop. Thornton emphasises the plant’s unique, "oblique" heart-shaped leaves, using a dramatic interplay of light and shadow to create a sense of tropical mystery and lush, botanical depth. The oblique or lopsided shape of Begonia leaves is an evolutionary adaptation; it allows the plant to capture maximum sunlight in the dappled, low-light environment of the forest floor.

Framed options from A4 to A1 sizes. Frame colour: 'Black' or 'Light Oak'.
