California may never have seen a Begonia Super Bloom like this before! Although it’s been only a year since the last one, locals say this one is even better. #BegoniaSuperBloom
Visitors are arriving in droves to marvel at the technicolor rainbow of tuberous begonia flower glory during Gates Open on Tuesdays and Thursday, from 11a.m.-1p.m. and Friday evenings from 5-7 p.m. with Live Music.
Begonia expert Paul Carlisle, who curates the collection notes, “A super bloom is an outbreak of flowers that exceeds the norm. The mild summer this year has enhanced and extended our amazing Begonia Show.” Massive new blooms are expected to continue over the next weeks into fall. The Chapman Estate will be a Begoniapalooza by the time that the Chapman annual fundraiser, Swingin’ By The Sea opens on Saturday, September 21 from 12-3 p.m.
Swingin’ By The Sea tickets are $100 general admission, $125 for reserved table seating or a table for 8 for $1000. Tickets on sale now at chapmanestatefoundation.org.
The Chapman Estate is located at 1243 Ocean Boulevard in Shell Beach, CA.
