    i took a cutting of this plant as I thought it's quite nice, hoping to propogate it, but it would be nice to know what it is first! The leaves are typically 15-20 cm in length

    Try googling "angel wing begonia" and go to garden whimsy if the link below doesn't work. Then you can look and possibly see which one you have. The one I had bloomed with clusters of pink flowers. The are easy to grow and if they get to tall or leggy just cut a stalk, dip in some rooting compound add stick it back in the pot. I can't remember if this one roots in water or not. Someone? barb
