I liked the last ones foliage -- the buds seem like the flowers will be white.

This one is stunning!

Heather, sorry I missed seeing your post sooner! I've rooted angelwing begonia cuttings pretty easily in water. I would think these would work the same way, although I would cut off any flowers or buds on the cuttings. You've probably already rooted & potted up these cuttings, LOL!

I just posted regarding this a few minutes ago. I took 3 leaf cuttings from Tuberous Begonias, stuck them in water (no compound) and they started roots. When the roots got decent size, I put them in dirt. I now have a beautiful pot of flowering Begonias. It took most of the winter to get blossoms.
