Question about begonia blooms

gardenfanatic2003

I started nonstop begonia tubers for the first time this year. I was reading to pinch off the side shoots to encourage bigger blooms. I have no idea what this means.

My begonias are blooming, but they sure don't look like the pictures. The blooms are underneath the leaves, and they aren't full with so many petals.

I also read to cut off "female" blooms to encourage "male" blooms to develop to their full potential. I have no idea which ones are "male" or "female."

Can anyone give me the "Begonias for Dummies" version? Thanks,

Deanna
