Alice, I don't know for sure what it is, but it does look like that, doesn't it. I got a garbage bag full of starts of them from our Urban Hort agent at the Extension office. She says she could cover her yard with them if she wanted to.

I do grow mine on the ground under my oak trees, and they spread out and make a clump. Need thinning or separating to keep blooming, though.
1. Check out Sophie Cecile getting nearly 3ft tall!
2. Here's the clump by the pool cage with one bloom.
3 the other clump flanked by Sophie Cecile and Don Miller begonias

All are wet from some good rain showers this afternoon, keeping me indoors, sadly.
