It's all done live, in person.

I am looking for a Mt Hemlock. Would there be any of them in the auction do you know?

A friend actually just posted about a mt. hemlock he would be auctioning. It's a mature piece so in the spendier live auction. There is also a silent auction with much more to choose from and more pre-bonsai. Don't know if there will be any Mt. Hemlock in the silent auction though. If you're near Seattle, Wells Medina nursery and Sky had some Mt. Hemlock last time I was there. Probably a month ago, ish. Watsons in Federal Way had a few too.

Wow. Stick around to the end. A few of the trees shown....This is a great opportunity if you're up that way.

Club auctions overall can present excellent trees like the ones in this video. If you have access to a club auction near you , GO...The Northern Virginia Bonsai Society auction is the same weekend--Sept. 25 as this one. It's a the Meadowlark Botanical Gardens out near Wolf Trap in N. Va...

I would have loved to have seen a photo list of the trees, and what they sold for.

It was a beautiful day and everything seemed to go pretty smoothly. The trees were great and I even went home with one.

NIce vid. That big Texas cedar elm was damn nice and looks like a tree collected by Vito Megna (I'd put money on it)...American beech forest was very very good...wish they'd included what this stuff was sold for.

FWIW, although this auction had some exceptional trees, it's not out of line with a lot of club auctions. I've seen material like this pop up at the Northern Va. auction...

@BenBSeattle you should make that video a separate post. It would get more attention.
