Begonia withlacoochee, also known as ‘Brazilian Lady,’ is a registered cultivar developed by Francis Michelson in 1977 by crossing Begonia Thelmae with Begonia peruviana. The ‘Brazilian Lady’ nickname was more than likely made up by a plant company and is NOT a registered cultivar. Begonia Withlacoochee gets its hilarious name from the Withlacoochee River in Florida. This plant typically produces olive green leaves with dark markings on top and red underneath. The flowers it produces are small and white. It does have a trailing nature in growth habit and would do great in a hanging basket. If you want this plant to thrive, give it bright indirect light, high humidity (which makes it great for terrariums), and water when the soil dries half way.
