2005 NCOS Orchid Auction
Saturday, March 26, 2005
Capitol College
11301 Springfield Road, Laurel MD

The annual National Capitol Orchid Society orchid auction offers hundreds of orchids. We ship in special beauties from top vendors from all over the world. Other plants are unusual or rare orchids from the collections of NCOS members. A lively auction begins at noon and continues to 4 pm. Auctioneers present information on each plant as part of the auction process. It’s a great way to add to your orchid collection and have a lot of fun in the process. Admission is free.

In addition, many plants are pre-priced and are offered for Instant Buy.

How's it looking these days? I heard it had a lot of paphs at the beginning, but goes until May. I could, conceivibly get down there for a day, if it is worth it. Anywone know?

BTW great to see so many show announcements. Do we have anyone from FL or the West yet who can post? Would be great to have a good calendar or shows. I'm very excited for shows in my area the next three weekends straight, but I am in the NE and shows are few (plants) and far between (locations from me!) Sigh....

Also, is there a London show going on now?
Oh, and you people in France you had better be sure to post photos from the show in March! PLEASE!!! I don't know anyone going from here. :cry:

No show can ever compare to the Paph Forum...Just rubbing it in...LOL!!!

Ohh...I get it...you switched topics on me...I was confused! Ya know...I haven't been! Shame on me! I have seen pics. I've actually been spending spare time helping one of the local retailers repot all of his slippers...that was a learning experience.

I went to the Philly Flower Show last year. I won't do that again!

MD show will have Woodstream and Marriott. Can't argue with their stuff!

Show tomorrow...:clap: Anybody going?
