A Little Shimmer

The color and shimmer on these leaves caught my attention when I was at the Botanic Gardens. They're really pretty! My shot doesn't do them any justice at all. I think they were on a begonia plant but I'm not completely certain. Please correct me if you recognize them. 8)
The detail and subtle colour are wonderful Livia :) but where's the bug? ;)

@bluefirebucket We'll take a little break from the bugs. After all that walking and looking and bending over and squatting, my middle-aged bones are killing me. 8)
