Begonias

Q.I have a begonia which has almost round leaves with one side having a slight point. The under leaf is red. I create new plants

just by putting the leaves in water to root. The blooms are very small, white, on a tall spike and not very impressive. I thought my Mother always called it a wax begonia but I am not sure about the name. What is the name?

It sounds like a wax begonia (Begonia x semperflorens-cultorum), except I wouldn't say the flower was on a tall spike. Hardy begonias (Begonia grandis) have more of a spike, but the leaves are more heart shaped.
