Begonia ‘Tubby Tuba’ is a cane-like hybrid introduced by Walter Dworkin in 2017. This begonia is a chance seedling of B. ‘Lenore Olivier’, meaning pollination happened without human intervention and the male parent is unknown. It has dark olive green leaves that emerge with an orange tint before developing mature coloration. Juvenile leaves sometimes have spots, but mature foliage is typically solid green. Flowers are white when grown indoors, but are blushed pink when grown in brighter light.
