I usually go to a little tea house for my writer's club. Much to my delight today, there's a pot of this flower on my "usual table". It blended in nicely with the painted flower on the wall. Does anyone know the name of this flower? Do you have it in your garden? Are they easy to keep?

That looks like a begonia. They are easy to keep.

Actually, it looks like something we have in our garden. Re. the name...I can't help you...when I was a kid I was trying to "help out" by pulling all the weeds...my mom was kinda miffed at me, that the "weeds" I pulled were the proper flowers, and actually left the weeds;).
