"Uncle Beazley is the name of the triceratops in the book The Enormous Egg by Oliver Butterworth, which was one of our favorite books when we were little kids. When we created our first Begonia hybrid, we thought the name Uncle Beazley was the perfect fit as it represents the love that we share for the book and now for begonias. The distinctly sharp margin of the leaves also matches well with the horns of a triceratops.”- Picnic Basket Garden | | Reference | |
