The term "Begonia hybrid" refers to a plant resulting from the cross-pollination of two different Begonia plants with varying DNA. Hybridization in Begonias is a well-practiced endeavor, undertaken by both professional plant breeders and hobbyist hybridizers globally. This practice aims to improve certain characteristics of the plant, such as enhancing disease resistance, flower size, color, or number, and creating more attractive foliage. Once a hybrid showcases notable improvements or unique features, it may become recognized as a cultivar. Photographed in the department of Quindio, Colombia.
