There are two, the one on the left is a little darker.

I agree with #2's ID.

#1 is probably Texas Lone Star and the right one on #3 sure looks like Lucerna. Not sure about the one on the left (Bengo?)

Picture #3 Could be B. Argenteo guttata on the left? Lucerna does ring a bell on the right. I used to work in a retail nursery. People would come in asking about an angel wing begonia their Grandmother gave them, Lucerna was usually the one.
Argenteo guttata was hybridized in 1888, Lucerna was created in 1892. Amazing they are still around.

number one is cane type "Matchmaker". It is easy to recognize because the pattern of spots is so even on both sides of the leaf, as well as the flower color. I have had this one lots. Very nice.

It is close to Matchmaker but the color of the unknown looks a bit dark. For now call it large polka dot cane begonia or after the person or nursery you got it from. Too many look alikes.



Here are four canes that are similar (Left to Right - Texas Lone Star, Sierra Mtn. King, Flamingo Queen, and Matchmaker).

It is a darker leaf like the Texas and the blooms are more pink. They look kinda white in the photo, but it was the way the sun was shining on it. Thank you everyone.
