Begonia Species

I was gifted some begonia babies and need help identifying! I was thinking Rex but no idea which one, of course the babes look like Strawberry ๐Ÿฅด. Here are photos of the babes and mom. #begonia (they are listed on their own in the app so I just tagged one)

Thr babies are strawberry begonias and that mother plant is indeed a type of Rex. They aren't related bit they're all cute!
*there is a chance this is not the mom, my friend sent me a photo of her new begonia (pictured) then brought the babies. So if I seem way off base I, that could be why and I can just patiently wait until they get older or my friend is back at her house to get a photo of the actual mother if need be ๐Ÿ˜‚
@tmbryant37 so exciting! I had just bought a Rex not knowing I had babies coming so while you can't have enough, knowing they are different makes me extra excited!
