Starting begonias from seed?

I have been starting my flowers from seed for a few years now, but I have never tried begonias before. Any special instructions for them. I usually use a heated covered plant exelerator to start my seeds and give them 16 hours of light a day. Should I do the same for begonias.

If you have germinated seeds before, then go ahead. They just don't like a lot of water. When come up make sure to keep them a little on the dry side.
Reply:You're braver than me, I usually let someone else grow them to the corm stage. Hope it works.
Reply:If you have been doing well for the last couple of years then yes go ahead with the Begonia seeds

Reply:You should do the same thing for begonias.
Reply:I had absolutely no luck with the begonias I tried this year. Everything else I have planted so far (Delphiniums, Glory Vine, Verbena, Roman Chamomile, Basil, Chives and Squash) has germinated, but not the begonias and I am at the far end of the expected time. However I found this site http://www.goldsmithseeds.com/datasheets...


a couple days ago that might have helped if I had it to start with. Please let me know if you succeed, and how you you do it.
