OP sybil Member Joined: Jun 2004 Alberta,Canada	Question on begonia tubers I received as a gift 6 tubers. When I unpacked them 2 had sprouted. I was under the assumption that the root sprouts first, but have had other opinions as to the sprout being the "flower " and hence should plant it sprout up. As I have only ever bought the "plant" my experience is very limited on tubers. So I throw this out to the experts. Sprout UP or sprout DOWN
