The leaves on these plants are literally metallic and I am mesmerized by them!! I know it's a begonia, but what kind? I've gotten several answers on my search for an ID.

Identifying begonias is really difficult. It looks like some kind of rex begonia, which means the species Begonia Rex is somewhere in the parentage. You'll also see begonias characterized with terms like rhizomatous, fibrous, cane, etc, which is a very general way of identifying a begonia based on it's characteristics. Rex begonias are one kind of rhizomatous begonia.
@JesssJungle so funny because I live in Texas and went to Walmart yesterday and they had these !! And some other Rex that was soooo cool!! The leaves were green with neon green dots for markings !! I literally have killed so many of these plants!!! I have seen them grown in the greenhouse successfully . I know they like humidity and they like to be bottom watered …. And I imagine with their leaf markings and luminosity they like light as well 🤷♀️
