Botanical designation: Begonia hybrida. Cultivar denomination: ‘BEYZ0007’.
BACKGROUND
OF THE NEW PLANT The present invention comprises a new Begonia plant, botanically known as Begonia hybrida, and hereinafter referred to by the variety name ‘BEYZ0007’. ‘BEYZ0007’ is a product of a planned breeding program in Whitecourt, Alberta, Canada The new cultivar has compact, symmetrical branching, double coral pink flowers that bloom naturally from spring to fall and has dark mahogany foliage with bright green veins. The new Begonia cultivar is the result of a planned pollination made in 2021 in the inventor's nursery in Whitecourt, Alberta, Canada. The female parent of the new cultivar is an unnamed seedling of proprietary origin, characterized by its bright pink flowers and green leaves. ‘BEYZ0007’ differs from the unnamed female parent by having a fuller, self-branching habit, lighter coral pink flowers and dark mahogany foliage with green veins. The male parent of the new cultivar is an unnamed seedling of proprietary origin and differs from ‘BEYZ0007’ by having a more symmetrical habit and white flowers. The resulting seed was sown in a controlled greenhouse environment in Whitecourt, Alberta and ‘BEYZ0007’ was selected as one flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross in summer of 2021. The first act of asexual reproduction of ‘BEYZ0007’ was accomplished when vegetative stem cuttings were propagated from the initial selection in 2021 in Whitecourt, Alberta, Canada. BRIEF
SUMMARY
OF INVENTION Plants of the new Begonia have not been observed under all possible combinations of environmental conditions and cultural practices. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environmental conditions such as temperature and light intensity, without, however, any variance in genotype. A Plant Breeder's Right for this cultivar has not yet been applied for. ‘BEYZ0007’has not been made publicly available prior to the effective filing date of this application, notwithstanding any disclosure that may have been made less than one year prior to the effective filing date of this application by the inventor or another who obtained ‘BEYZ0007’ directly from the inventor. The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be basic characteristics of the new variety. The combination of these characteristics distinguishes this Begonia as a new and distinct variety. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS The accompanying photographic drawings show typical flower and foliage characteristics of ‘BEYZ0007’ with colors being as true as possible with an illustration of this type. The photographic drawings show in a close view of an inflorescence taken when the plants were 5 months old in August 2025 in Whitecourt, Alberta, Canada and in a whole flowering plant taken in August 2025 in Whitecourt, Alberta, Canada. DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION The plant descriptions and measurements were taken in August 2025 in the inventor's nursery at Whitecourt, Alberta, Canada. The plants were approximately 5 months old and were growing in 8-inch pots, one plant per pot, in a greenhouse. Color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart (R.H.S.) 2001.
