Begonia Plant Show & Sale
Presented by Southern California Begonia Society

The Southern California Begonia Society comprises amateur growers whose backyard nurseries yield fabulous specimens and an unusual range of leaf variation and growth habit. There are over 1800+ Begonia species and hybrids are constantly being developed. The exhibition will include various types of begonias including canes, tuberous, rhizomatous and Rex. Mature examples will be displayed in pots and terrariums – and many of the same begonias will be available to buy.
