"A dazzling display of color, scent and texture," is how one member described a previous auction held by the Palomar Orchid Society. This year's auction will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, August 18 at the Lake San Marcos Pavilion/Community Center, 1105 La Bonita Drive, San Marcos.
One of the things this auction provides is a chance to own a unique orchid. The public will have an opportunity to bid on and purchase orchids not usually seen in local nurseries and home improvement stores. The public will be able to preview the orchids beginning at 11:00 a.m., and the bidding will begin at 12 noon. Expect to see orchids from around the world. Hybrid orchids as well as species will be available. Society members will be available to answer questions about orchid culture and cultivation. For more information, go to www.palomarorchid.org.
