American Begonia Society

About This Association

The American Begonia Society is a horticultural society devoted to the promotion, cultivation, and study of begonias (plant family Begoniaceae, pronounced be-gon-ee-AY-see-ee). Begonia is one of the largest genera of flowering plants with more than 2050 species and over 10,000 hybrids. Begonias are known and admired for diverse and spectacular characteristics among their foliage, flowers, type of Begonia, and size. You may grow your plants on a window sill, under lights, outside in your garden or inside a small terrarium – we know there is at least one begonia to inspire and delight you! We are eager to share our enthusiasm, knowledge, and love of begonias with new friends.
