    This is not an indicator that they are separate, although if you got them from a place where there were separate colors, then is is likely that you do have different colors. They will just have to be planted to see. Just make sure that you keep them separate, and labeled once you do find out.

    I had stored them in 2 seed trays - one marked red and one marked “orangey red” so will have to wait and see how they turn out!

    As long as the temperatures have warmed in your area, then this will be perfectly fine. This article will give you more information on their care: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/begonia/tuberous-begonia-care.htm

    I don't think this is Begonia.

    Make sure you don't overwater. Let the soil dry slightly between watering.

    Are there drainage holes in the bird bath? Without them, moisture levels build up and can rot the bulb. It does take a while for begonia tubers to break dormancy but 2.5 months is excessive. I would poke around in the soil to locate one and then gently remove the soil on top of it. Be careful; the first shoots break easily. If there is no sign of emerging shoots then gently try to lift it. If there are no roots anchoring it in the soil, it's dead. Of course, all this assumes you live in southern US where temps have been warm for a while. Some of us are just getting there!

    This is a high maintenance plant that will require regular care and upkeep, and usually looks its best without pruning, although it will tolerate pruning.
    Prune back to a leaf node and only prune 1/3 at any give time.
