Can anyone confirm if this is a Begonia,i,m sure it is,but what to make sure as there was no name label on it.It was brought for me from one of the new puppy owners and i forgot to ask if it was a Begonia.Also how long will it flower? and any other info to keep it going!!

sorry dawn i have no clue....very pretty though x

It's lovely , I think it's a begonia . Not sure how to look after it though. Maybe google will have the answer ?

It looks more like a fancy Primula to me.

I would say its a Primula, I think begonias tend to have a double layer on the flower.

From my experience they are pretty easy to take care of and seem to last a while.

What a nice present to receive!

it looks like a begonia by the leaf shape but it aslo looks like a primrose by the flowers, either way a very pretty plant

Looks like a primular to me too. If you plant it out in the garden when all danger of frost is past, it should come up every year.

I would almost definitely say a Primula too....its very pretty and yes can go in the garden too.. :thumbsup:

the only other plant I can think it looks like is a Pelargonium

Sorry folks,but it's not of the the primula species.It's a geranium,and a good healthy one at that.I groq dozens of them every year,for the baskets and window boxes.It's very easily cultivated too.So you might have loads of m next year,if you take a few slip's of it,when it's bigger. ....Billy...
