Solved Houseplant ???

Hi can someone please tell me what plant this is, someone said its an indoor plant and once flowered the plant is finished.
Any advice much appreciated

 

It looks like a Begonia to me, although there are those who'd know better.
There are Begonias that grow from a tuber and there are ones that don't, and I can't really tell which this is.
Tuberous ones can be grown outside in the summer and after they die back can be overwintered in a frost free shed, and grown again the following year.

Of the non-tuberous ones, many are grown as houseplants, but B. semperflorens can also be grown outside in the summer and overwintered in a frost free shed. I get varying amounts of success with them that way but if you keep it indoors in the winter it will keep growing and probably pull through.

You can take cuttings of non-tuberous ones, but I'm not sure about the tuberous ones, I don't have any of those.
As far as I know Begonias don't die after flowering.

 

Agree it's a begonia, I see no reason why you can't grow it outside in summer, it would need protection in winter.

If you scratch around the base you will be able to see if it has a tuber.

A slightly shaded place would be best if you do put it outside.

 

In years gone by I used to use the fibrous-rooted begonias like you have to edge flower borders.
I'd often plant 20 or more. They're fine outside, but I recall that very heavy rain can damage them and hail can cause lots of damage. But mine usually flowered up until the frosts arrived.

Here's a summary from Google-
Fibrous-rooted begonias, also known as wax or bedding begonias, are characterized by their thin, fibrous root systems and are often grown as annuals due to their tender perennial nature. These begonias produce blooms in various colors like white, pink, and red, and can be used in containers, window boxes, or as bedding plants in shady areas. They are popular choices for their easy care and attractive foliage.
Key Characteristics:

• Root System: Thin, fibrous roots, unlike tuberous or rhizomatous begonias.
• Growth Habit: Often grown as annuals, discarded at the end of the season, but can be overwintered as houseplants.
• Flowering: Produce flowers in white, pink, or red throughout the summer until frost.
• Foliage: Can have attractive foliage, with varieties offering green, purple, or bronze leaves.
• Popular Uses: Commonly used in containers, window boxes, or as bedding plants in shady or partial shade areas.
• Examples: Include wax begonias (Begonia semperflorens), and some hardy types that can tolerate colder weather in sheltered locations.
