Gesneriad Society Convention 2007: Live Auction

Olive Ma Robinson is bidding, while her husband Ralph (to her right) wonders if they'll have enough money to get home, after the auction is over.  To Olive's left (our right) is Pam Braun, of the Gesneriad Society's finance committee, evidently thinking that Olive isn't bidding enough.

Here Vladimir Kalgin is wondering how high to bid, while his wife Tatiana is thinking the same thing Ralph is, above.
