They must have auctioned off 3000 orchids so there were many to choose from. As I first surveyed the bounty, the Myr. Luster was the one that caught my eye. I love Schomburgkias and I knew I would bid hard on it. Some other guy wanted it too so it cost me more than I wanted to pay. Most of the plants went for around $20 with a few fetching only $10 or so. The big Catts that were in bloom cost the most so I would find the same thing not in bloom and pick it up for a song. The orange on the Bc. Fladosa is rare so I went after that one as well. You kind of lose track after a while and are stunned when you finally see all that you bought and the bill for them. Lots of fun however.
Got to get ready to go sing at the nursing home.
