Our annual orchid auction takes place in October. As always, expect unique, rare and exotic specimens to add to your collection! This promises to be a night of fun, fierce bidding and satisfaction as you go home with your coveted prize.
The auction starts at 7:00PM. Registration starts at 6:30.. Come early to register, inspect plants, and plan your bidding strategies!
Here are some tips for FLOS members:
While you’re repotting, think about donating a division to FLOS. The proceeds from our auction go to reducing the cost for the holiday party. Remember we will be getting plants from vendors but we also need your participation.
Donate healthy, pest and disease-free, named divisions. Bare root or potted.
Include a picture of the orchid in bloom, if you can. (One of your own or one from the internet. Just Google the name for an image.)
If you can’t get a picture, tell us what it looked like, such as “ Big white Cattleya with yellow lip” or “Blooms in winter around the holidays”
Do you have extra pots or supplies that are taking up room in your grow area? One person’s trash is another person’s treasure!
All monies raised help underwrite member functions like the holiday dinner, rambles and preview party.
