Couple weeks back, the FVOS had it’s last meeting before the summer break. It was our silent auction to raise money for the society, and it was a huge success! It sucks that I won’t get to go hang out with a bunch of other orchidnuts for a few months, but I’ll manage as best I can.
Everyone from the society brought something to donate for the auction. I brought 2 freezer ziploc bags full of leca pellets. They went for a nice amount, I was glad to contribute. Not everything was orchid related, some people brought cakes or books, some brought totally random stuff. But I was holding out hope that one of our members who has an extensive collection would bring some divisions to donate, and I wasn’t disappointed.
