DOes not match description in this PDF of Begonia cucullata, which is  classified as an invasive weed in USA

https://plants.ifas.ufl.edu/wp-content/uploads/files/caip/SP257/Begonia_cucullata(SP257-058).pdf

from page at univ fl

https://plants.ifas.ufl.edu/plant-directory/begonia-cucullata/

read the pdf particularly  flowers description and that of the leaf

these things are taught at community levels in USA to identify the invasive species and to help eradicate them

The begonia you are showing is NOT the invasive begonia cuculata

flowers, leaves shape tip base etc do not match the description

This is but one such circular

i believe Australia has such papers also

I have never seen violet or reddish leaves on the weedy begonias

your plant is a cultivar of double begonias, with thousands of them its beyond me to classify them

but its not the invasive species.

this one is  an exotic houseplant.

classifying begonias is like pulling teeth based on pictures of a potted plant

any of the showy many petalled begonias are ultimately derived from tuberous begonias 

many call them Begonia tuberhybrida oerall

flowers of which can be many colors

and each nursery or breeder then names his or her variety 

and may be gets them registered

this link that Gargji gave is one such 

but their leaves are green, pointed, seem thinnish, not the beefy looking brown in this case here

and leaves are shiny

to be sure one will have to find the hybrid maker 

but to guess on a name

i would stay with Double begonia cultivar rose pink

or some such name

USDA plants site seems to be down for sometime now

otherwise we could have had a better idea

i found one thats a bit better than most
