    RR I think you can take cuttings from all your plants. I do take cuttings from the pelargoniums. I haven't started working with seeds much yet. I'll try and find out more for you!!

    It is a fibrous rooted begonia, or wax leaf, it is called "Lady Francis" and roots from cuttings. Be sure the cutting has a "vegetative break"(little sprout by a leaf) so you will get a branched plant and not a straight stick.

    Reiger begonia should have green leaves, larger blooms and is a little more difficult to grow.
