Hi, bsmith, that's a rhizomatous begonia. It looks like it has B. erythrophylla in it.

Nice plant!

Amanda

Thank you!

Any advise on these guys? I have never kept a Begonia before.

That's a rhizomatous Begonia, a succulent type plant. Please, out of the water immediately. Let it dry until tomorrow. A very shallow pot, like the drip saucer of a plastic pot, is great. Plant like a bearded Iris, with the top surface just above the soil. Morning sun is great. Well drained, porous soil, almost parched between waterings.

The American Begonia Society "virtual greenhouse" page has a good overview of the basic types of Begonias.

Of course yours is a different one, but the flowers should look something like these. And you can see, these stay short.

Hi...I had one of those...

Ill pull it out as soon as I get home.

Thank you!
