Tuberous Begonias - Paul Carlisle & Chapman Estate

 Our begonia branch (Rudolf Ziesenhenne, Santa Barbara, CA) recently visited Paul Carlisle's shade-house and the Chapman Estate shade-house to see tuberous begonias.  It was a tuberous double feature! 

 If your familiar with my blog, you have seen the tuberous begonias grown by Paul Carlisle.  They are incredible!  I would confidently say that Paul Carlisle is the best tuberous begonia grower in the United States!  It's always a treat to visit his shade-house when the tuberous are in full bloom!  Here are pictures taken in Paul's shade-house.
