Can Anyone Identify This (Cane) Begonia?

I had posted a similar thread in a different forum a while ago on the same question, but I'm posting it here because it seemed like a container gardening topic. I have purchased this begonia about a week ago, and I have no idea what kind it is. All I know is its some kind of cane begonia. I've read that a while back, begonias were a huge fad to house plant enthusiests, so I figured someone here might know what I've got. Also, I've read a lot of contradicting information on how to properly care for cane begonias. If anyone has any info on there cultural needs, please tell me.

And, just to add an observation, the leafs only develope the white dots on them with age.

From the first photo I'd say it is definitely and beyond a shadow of a doubt Begonia 'Spots Of Hardwater'.

Just kidding, I have no idea. Perhaps if you contacted somebody here and sent them a photo they might be able to identify the plant when its not in bloom-
