There are a total of 5 + 6 + 7 = 18 flowers in the vase.
The probability of selecting a begonia on the first draw is 5/18.
After removing one begonia from the vase, there are 4 begonias left out of 17 flowers in total.
Therefore, the probability of selecting another begonia on the second draw is 4/17.
Multiplying the two probabilities together:
(5/18) * (4/17) = 20/306 = 10/153
So, the probability of selecting two begonias is 10/153.
