I don't know what your local society does but our sale/auction is Saturday. We have a sale of older varieties but ask for quality rhizomes that the members dig. We encourage people to bring rhizomes they would like to buy. We try to have pictures there. We sale those for $3. Later in the day we have an auction of newer varieties that we buy as club orders from several hybridizers. They send newer varieties including some intros which we have an auction for. Great fun. You ought to go even if it is just to meet the people. That may open up many future opportunities.
