About

Begonia maculata 'Medora' is a named cane begonia cultivar prized for unusually large, prominent white spotting — bolder and more strongly contrasted than the plain species' finer silver dots — set against dark green leaves with strongly contrasting burgundy undersides. Like the other named cultivars here, it is not a chimeric sport, so cuttings reproduce the pattern reliably, but it circulates mainly among collectors rather than through general retail.
