Begonia Rex Seed?


Begonia Rex Seed?

This big winged thing was the begonia bloom, no more petals. I'm thinking its a seed, I'm letting it dry. Anyone know about it?

I believe that it is a seed pod Greenthumb. This doesn't happen too often.

This one has a second flower every winter that does this. I'm guessing the female. Maybe I'll have more, seems each flush has one boy flower, one girl flower. This begonia is ridiculously happy right now....lol.

I believe Begonias have male and female flowers.

I know the bigger varieties have one big two small and they are male and female. This one hasn't showed flushes of three. Now I see this seed pod, I can tell the difference.
