Next Meeting: The Auction! – Sat., Oct. 17, 2026

We’re continuing our Fall orchid season this year with the annual GROS Auction. Come join your fellow members for a morning of great orchids and great fun! With many wonderful plants up for bid, everyone is sure to find a healthy, beautifully grown orchid – at an affordable price, too! You’ll be able to bid on plants that our buying power as a club brings to our members & friends at truly spectacular savings. If you’ve been paying attention at our meetings, many of the spectacular orchids seen on the Show Tables have been Auction plants bought by our members.

The Auction is a wonderful way to add to your orchid collection at very reasonable cost. Remember, every plant you buy at the Auction helps the GROS in running our many yearly activities. If you have friends who might be interested in our Auction, bring them along! The Auction is open to everyone, free of charge.

The complete list of orchids to be auctioned off is available for download here – if you are a member, you will receive the list in our club email soon.

Auction preview begins at 9:00 a.m. and plant preview will begins at 9:30.

For those of you who’ve never attended one of our auctions, there will be orchids for windowsill, under-lights and greenhouse growers, orchids for experts, orchids for beginners – orchids for everyone! We will have a good selection of both hybrids and species, with some plants in bud and bloom! You can pay for your plants with cash, checks, or credit/debit cards. Members are encouraged to bring a snack to share.
