The Southeast Plant Symposium rare plant auction has begun. More plants will be added every other day until the symposium starts Friday. The auction ends mid-afternoon this Saturday. Many of these plants are simply unavailable anywhere else in the world. All auction proceeds are split between the JLBG Garden Endowment Fund at NC State and the JC Raulston Arboretum.
You do not have to be present or registered for the symposium to bid. Attendees who win can pick up their plants at the end of the symposium, while those not in attendance can have their plants shipped. Only plants in 3 quart pots and smaller may be shipped. Others will need to be picked up in person. Enjoy the bidding and hope you get some really great plants!
The link to the auction in the article does not appear to work.
It should be working now. If not, please let us know.
I registered, but it is taking me to an auction that is already closed (JCR Winter Symposium, where all the bids are closed. Something is amiss.
Our tech folks say that it’s because there is a previous auction in your cache. Do you know how to clear the cache? If that doesn’t work, try going to the JCRA homepage and clicking the auction link there.
