Thanks, Chris and Rick. I found it. It is "Impatiens Celebrette Orchid Star". It needs full to part shade, and blooms June to September.

I knew the people on these lists were experts on everything! :-)

My wife received this plant in a hanging basket today, with no label or
environmental suggestions.  It may be of the Begonia family.  Any of you
plant experts got more information?

Thanks in advance.

Lovely Jim. I'm pretty sure they're "Impatients" (sp?)

      Actually spelled "Impatiens", and I would agree with the generic ID.  
There are over 1,000 species in cultivation, so have at it:
