It was in a hanging basket in the Blairgowrie area of Scotland.

(Sorry about the poor quality of the photo it was taken on an iPod then
transferred onto a Hitachi camcorder then onto the computer.)

Weird maybe. My firewall has blocked the site you've linked to.

That's what we thought. Wife suggested Rose headed
trailing begonia. I didn't think it was as simple as
making your own name up. :O)

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.

I agree with you, it looks exactly like the tender tuberous begonias my
grandfather used to grow, but like yourself, no idea of variety.
