    Hello there,

    I just purchased 2 plants for my office and was hoping someone could tell me what they are... The first I believe to be an angel wing begonia (b. cracklin rosie). The second, pink plant I have no idea, I just looked at some photos and caladium was the closest I got for similar leaves... however I repotted it and it has roots, not a bulb, so I am not sure what it is.

    I want to make sure I don't kill the plants by keeping them in my office, mostly away from sunlight! Thanks for everyone's help!

    #1 is most likely a cultivar of B. coccinea - it will probably love your office.
