The 2019 APS Fall online auction will be October 12 through October 13.
It is a member's only auction. If you have not yet joined the APS, now's a great time to join so you can participate.

There are some very nice peony roots offered that often go well below the normal retail price! Plus you are supporting an organization that is devoted to our favorite flower.

Here is a root that I just received that I won at the APS Convention auction : 'Pillow Cases'.



If you are already an APS member, mark your calendar and get ready to bid on some wonderful peonies!

Looking forward to it!

Glad you are going to check it out, Top.

Another great thing about the Auction is that shipping is included!!

Are they going to issue bidder access codes somehow? Curious about how my APS ID gets me into the auction

Top

As I recall from last year it turned out that you didn't need the access code. You can sign in with your APS ID, which was my email address.

I got several from the convention auction this year, some are still in boxes in the garage! Excited to see what all will be offered this year!

The registration is open. You log in with your same email that you used for APS. Then create your password, or use the same one from last year if you participated then.
The catalog is up so you can look at what is available!
There are some very hard to get peonies such as Kayleigh Ann!! There are also several itohs, including one donated by Craig

Our own Karen has donated two Juliskas !!

Good luck to everyone!

The auction is now open. Some great varieties of herbaceous, itoh, and tree peonies. And it is fun.

I have already placed a bid just to make sure it is working.

It will be fun!

I bid on a few tree peonies!

I am momentarily winning one...

The bids will change all day today, but will really pick up around 530 this afternoon. Some of the prices will soar. Have to decide how badly you want it. The roots are usually top notch.

Anyone bidding on Item #18, Junior Miss peony is gorgeous! If you like green buds, this is the peony to get. If you don't like green buds, they will transform from ugly duckings to these blooms.

Thanks for that info, Karen!!

Hang on Top, it's going to be a wild ride at the end!!

Woo hoo! Lots of fun!
I did get outbid, but hey, it goes for a good cause !
I won Juliska from Karen 😁

I am happy. I got Theresa Anne and a pack of the hand pollinated AGLH seeds. I love the auction.

Thanks for bidding, LG! You will love its big pink blooms that sometimes will have a heart center like Besse Bockstoce.

Congrats on your win, Gary! That is a gorgeous tree peony!

I went with the remain married option

Congrats Gary!! Good for you!!

Top, your comment was a hoot!!

Here is my huge Juliska root I won from Karen on the APS auction.
She was so kind to delay shipping as I went to visit my Mother for her 85th birthday.

The price I paid was well below any price I've seen, plus this root is amazing!
Check out Karen's photo of her Juliska bloom in the peony database here.



I think that I will be sharing photos of a bloom on it this Spring!

Thanks again, Karen for raising money for the APS, and sending out such a wonderful division.
