I can see why you would want to grow it Myriam, the leaves and tiny flowers are attractive!

Begonia hirtella is the one I found before I read your last part about it, flower size might differ according to age of the plant?

There's several photos of B. hirtella to compare on phytoimages ..

Delta-intkey has an illustration which shows a red dot at the leaf joint, and reddish upper stems.

Begonia hirsuta as shown on wiki has very hairy flower bracts which yours doesn't have.
