The display is headed by nationally renowned breeder Peter Bugg, who presented a talk about the finicky flower on Sunday.
Entally Estate volunteer president Johanna Maat said the displayed blooms were on-par with any others that could be found in Australia.
"Often we get busloads of people to look at them," Mrs Maat said.
"We're certainly on par with Ballarat Begonia Festival and with Hobart's beautiful begonias in their botanical gardens."
She said an invitation was extended to the public to visit the estate and its gardens.
"They are certainly world-class and it's all been done by a well-known Australian grower," Mrs Maat said.
"They're quite a bit of work actually, but for Peter Bugg it's a very, very serious hobby."
The blooms are on display now. Visitors are welcome to view them at the estate during its opening hours — 10am to 4pm, Monday to Sunday.
Mrs Maat said that Entally was always on the lookout for volunteers to join its ranks.
