Meeting - August 11, 2013 -- Annual Plant Auction
Our annual auction offered over 130 plants --
no one went away empty handed!
But it was difficult to decide what NOT to bid on!
Our auctioneer, Fran Wilson, offers the first plant for sale -- a lovely Beallara, an Oncidium hybrid.
Sold! The bidding got off to a lively start with this beautiful orchid.
More action, with Fran fielding bids right and left.
