I bought this on impulse , thinking I could propagate it to fill a basket.

I have been protecting this one in the garage all winter. So I see it has longer stems, not like my impulse buy.

So now I realize there are lots of different kinds.
Is there an easy to read description of the different kinds? And is my "impulse buy" possible to propagate? Sorry I have no names...new to this, even didn't know it had a different name than begonia... *Blush*

Um correct me if I'm wrong, but pelargoniums and begonias are in two difference families of plants. Geraniaceae and Begoniaceae. How can they be related?

Now you see how much I don't know! I thought begonia was in the pelargonium family from another thread I read. So I posted this in the wrong forum?

Your first one is a Rex begonia, they are often tricky to grow, here is a good site with description and care info:

The second one is a cane begonia, easier to grow and propagate:
