I was thrown by the petunia above and to the right of the flower in question
but looking at the bud to the left side if it I'd say Yes Begonia,
tuberous but as to variety No Idea.

Thanks Dave

OK, it's probably a tuberhybrida type, possibly Guardsman. I'd rule
out pendula and multiflora as the shape/flower is wrong. Similarly I'd
rule out "Nonstop" as the flowers, though blurred, look too
well-formed.

Cheers, Jake
