Past show winners, rare and hard-to-find, splash, feathered, peloric, species, and cymbidium companion plants have been available and won at astonishing prices! Some plants will be in spike or in bloom. Smaller divisions and seedlings are also available.

In last year's auction we had bidders from the greater Bay Area, from Sacramento to Santa Cruz, and even from Southern California.

Anyone can bid in the auction, but you must be able to pick up your plants on Sunday Feb 5, 2023, 12:15 pm - 2:30 pm in San Mateo, CA (exact address in San Mateo to be confirmed closer to Auction). You can authorize a friend to pick-up for you, if needed. Sorry, no shipping is available for any item.
