Hi Barbara,
	I grew Biden's 'Golden Eye' that I purchased from Thompson and Morgan 
last spring.  I didn't keep any notes but as I recall they were quite easy to 
germinate following the instruction on the seed package.  If you're growing them 
under lights, don't start them too early.  I started them about 10-12 weeks 
before my last frost date and they should have been planted out at least two 
weeks before I was able to.  They're fast growers.  They're also great plants.
I hung them over a lime stone wall and they flowered well into november here in 
zone 5.

	Your begonias are probably too dry.  I've got mine in regular peat 
growing medium, which I dampened down a bit before storing them.  Try soaking 
them in a bowl of water for a couple of hours then let them dry off a bit before 
putting them back in storage.  This should rehydrate them.
