2026 August Auction Newsletter

I am very excited about the orchids that will be offered for auction this Sunday August 9th at the Ivy Building, 9 Genevieve Circle, Asheville. Our California vendors really out did themselves by sending some outstanding plants. And, Mr. James Randall from Sotheby's will be making an encore appearance again this year! Viewing will start at 1:00pm and the bidding will start at 2:00pm. All registered bidders will receive one free raffle ticket that you can place in one of ten raffle jars. Each raffle prize will include an orchid and a ceramic orchid pot. Raffle tickets will be drawn throughout the auction. It will be a big help if you come in time to get registered before the auction starts. All methods of payments will be accepted. Here are two links to view the orchids to be auctioned. Click here to view a printable list of plants. Click here to view the PowerPoint slides with images of the blooms. The images are not of the actual plants to be auctioned. If you have any trouble opening the links, let me know (G_Ram@yahoo.com)

So grab a friend or neighbor and head to the Auction on Sunday. Everyone is welcome!!
