    A friend gave me a plant that has a bunch of pink flowers hanging like bells. The flowers are small and has a green oval in the middle. The leaves are long and has white spots on them. I would like to know more about this plant but I don't know the name. I will try to get a picture up ASAP. In the meantime if anyone knows please let me know.

    A photo will be helpful.

    Indoor plant or outdoor plant? Leaves thick or thin? Overall size of plant? Size of leaves? Flowers placed at end of stem or where?

    You can do a lot without a photo, but I have to admit it would help :-)

    This is of course a wild guess, but does it look like the plant in this link:
    Begonia maculata

    Not the best photo, but it shows the features you mention.
