a friend bought this pretty plant, but forgot to ask what its name was, and since she doesn't speak german, it wouldn't have been much help either ;) please help me find it out for her, that would make her very happy, resp. me too ;) thank you in advance.
Looks like a beautiful little begonia to me. Germany has a number of well-known begonia breeders with hundreds of varieties .
Fittonia "Frankie" ? The leaves do not have the prominent veins of Fittonia ? http://tinyurl.com/qrqxx
nandan kalbag, thank you for the info. greengoose, do you not agree? the pic you attached looks to me exactly like the plant in question ;) thanks guys, now i'll be looking into hints for better growing.
I am only pointing out that your images do not show the leaf vains that are so prominent with Fittonia . But you have the plant before you so you can view it from different angles in differing light. I do agree that it is likely a Fittonia because of the growth habit.
