Begonia brevirimosa
Pink Cane Begonia
Morphology
About
Begonia brevirimosa, described by Irmsch., is a cane-type species from the humid tropical forests of New Guinea, growing in warm, shaded understory conditions with high humidity on rich organic substrate and moist forest margins where filtered light supports its vivid colouration. The plant is immediately distinguished by the leaves: striking asymmetrical blades with a vivid pink central field fading to darker green at the margins — a naturally occurring two-tone colouration that requires no variegation to be dramatic. The foliage is thin yet lush, with red undersides, carried on segmented red canes in an upright branching habit entirely distinct from the rhizomatous begonias. Among New Guinean cane begonias, brevirimosa holds a particular place in the collector world for the sheer intensity of its pink colouration on mature plants.

Historical auction metrics and live online retailer listings updated weekly.
How prices are calculated: The AA Price uses verified eBay UK completed auction data — we take the trimmed mean (removing the top and bottom 20% of prices) to produce a fair-value guide that excludes outlier sales. When recent auction data is unavailable, the AA Price falls back to the current UK retail average from tracked stockists. Retail prices are scraped from active UK plant shop listings and reflect what you would pay buying directly from a retailer today. All prices are in GBP and updated automatically.
