I'm pretty sure that's an angel wing begonia.

Einge, thanks for the quick response. Sure looks like it, though I've never seen this one bloom in 6 or so years. I'll have to look in to how to promote that.

I've had one for years and I've been able to start new ones but it's never bloomed.

Aaron, Your Angelwing Begonia needs to be pruned back and kept potbound to bloom. Overpotting is the most common reason that flowering plants fail to bloom. Of course several hours of direct indoor sunlight are also essential for Begonia flowering. Pruning back leggy stems will keep your Begonia full and compact and shorter. Prune any stem just above any node and new growth will emerge from that node and grow upward from there. Email me if you have any questions.
