ok, you have a couple of things going on. first, there are lots of different types of angel wing/dragon wing begonias. and yes, there is one that had dark green, wrinkled leaves.
second, you are probably over feeding it. you want to do two things. only feed at half or even quarter strength every other watering, not every watering. and you want to check the numbers on the fert. to make sure that the middle number is higher than the other two. the center number is the one that promotes blooms.

May be getting too much sun, especially in the very hot, late afternoon.

I dont think any plant requires 2 fertilizers. And not that often.....
All your doing is making Shultz rich.
Cut the food ......
I put my begonia in the north side of the house ..It is doing great.

My dragon wing begonias seem to be growing fine in terms of size, but the leaves are very dark green and wrinkled and there aren't many flowers on the plants. I've seen dragon wings elsewhere that have smooth bright green leaves with a lot more flowers.
I have three dragon wings per 3-foot tub, and two sweet potato vines in the same tub. I put in slow release fertilizer when i potted them, and I usually mix a powered fertilizer when i water them. The powered fert is Schultz Bloom Plus "for all flowering plants"
Suggestions?
