the metamorphosis of a small, non-descript wild flower 
It is hard indeed to believe that the little, un-prepossessing wild flower, discovered in 1690 in 
Bolivia by Charles Plumnier and named for Governor Michel Begon of Santo Domingo, has 
been so transformed that today it is huge, many petalled, and so lovely in color and form that 
it beggars description! All this has been accomplished within the last 30 years or so through 
expert hybridizing so that there are 
Today Hundreds of Spectacular Varieties
