That is a Cane Begonia and you will find it at...

http://www.rhs.org.uk/rhsplantfinder...?ID=1372&so=pf

look at their superb list which includes the Cane Begonia "Sinbad" you are
looking for and they do mail order. However I understand Sinbad can be a bit
difficult to keep over winter due to it's thin leaves and there may be
others that are tougher on that list like "Lucerna".
