This is a rieger begonia. First hybrids came from Germany and now this type of begonia is grown all over the world. Enjoy while it is in bloom because it is not a long term B.

Hey SS, just wanted to share with you. If you still have your Rieter's plant it outside for the summer. I got the ones in this picture at Easter time and planted them out in the shade a few weeks ago. The original blooms had long since been spent, but as you can see I'm getting another flush. It will be interesting to see how it does when the weather really heats up.
