Title based on caption
Collected by editorial for use in a January 2003 issue of the Burnaby NewsLeader
Caption from metadata for 535-1826-1: "Auction day starts early for Burnaby florist, Lucy Lo, as she examines the flowers and plants up for sale at the United Flower Growers Co-op, on Marine Way. That means a walk-around tour of the giant warehouse at 5:30 AM to decide what she'll bid on when the auction begins at six."
Caption from metadata for 535-1826-2: "Lucy studies the lots in the giant bidding theatre. The flower auction is actually a "Dutch Auction," which means prices start high and go down, with buyers bidding in at the price they're prepared to pay. All the bidding is done by keypad, with transactions recorded and tracked by computer."
Caption from metadata for 535-1826-3: "Lucy, and her seatmate, Harold Calton, a florist in Richmond, concentrate as they study prices for the day's flowers. The two will sometimes split a lot one of them has bought if it's too large for their own store."
Caption from metadata for 535-1826-4: "Bids at the auction are placed by a keypad that allows buyers to key in the price they're paying and the quantity of lots they're buying.

Caption from metadata for 535-1826-5: "The auction over, Lucy checks her order in the warehouse."
Caption from metadata for 535-1826-6: "Lucy wheels part of her day's purchases to her car. Her husband will pick up the rest in his van. The flowers and plants will be on sale in her two stores the same day."
