Join the Annual OSGB Auction
Take part in the annual auction which is always full of bargains and rarities.
Are you a wise bidder or just want that particular orchid at any price?
With Brexit done, CITES, phytosanitary certificates and customs agencies charges will be costly, so inside trading at the OSGB is a must.
