Yeah the daughter is there - she is on the right in a more standard pot where the mother is on the left in a bulb pot and I propped the floppy blooming stems on the daughter (also has blooms starting).

Here they are at another angle but blurry (don't know what I was focusing on).

Good to hear about your QO. I never use rooting hormone any more on begonias - too much trouble and I haven't seen any improvement. The bowl I have mine in is quite humid and I have 3 or 4 different begonias rooted in there - Boyfriend & Purple Curl already have new leaves and U308 and sizemorea still look fresh as the day I put them in there. But if I put a QO leaf down it soon rots. Perhaps too humid for it?
