New Begonia grower/Rex ID

I got this today, thinking it was something completely different. I love the colors. However, I've never really had a begonia before. The "tag" said it was a Rex begonia,-assorted. I take it they had a big shipment and threw them all together without names. I've looked as some pictures, but can't see to find any good assortment of them, to compare. I hope someone can name this pretty little thing for me. Also, some growing tips. It is pretty wet right now, so I won't water if for a few days. How often does it like to be watered, and fertilized? It likes shade, right?
I'd like to pot it up with some impatients.
TIA
Leslie

my guess is this is from the Great American Cities series of begonias from Booman floral, probably 'Denver Lace.'
alternately, it could be 'Merry Christmas.' both of those are pretty commonly sold.
