Yes, it is. This one was planted outdoors during our warm season. The blossoms were not as protected outdoors so they weren't as rich looking. The blossoms really do have that velvety way about them. Is yours from the same cultivar? I'd love to see a pic of it.

Here's a pic of this Begonia taken during last summer. These blooms are so heavy they really need to be staked if the plant is in the ground. I think that next year, I'll put it in a hanging basket so the blooms cascade.
