Hi folks,I just wanted to note that this list from Susan is definitely a "picky" list. As I am not even purchasing these myself, but relying on a longtime member with a tenuous contact with ANW, I forwarded it with a note of "feel free to ignore and just get a variety, asking for some unusual species." We have sometimes put in special requests, but have never sent them that specific a list. While they sometimes deliver plants we don't specifically want, they've always given us some pretty sweet deals on price.
If you really want to get stuff that specific, you should probably buy the plants yourselves, and just have me run computers...

What I've noticed is that some plants like the crinum, clover, lotus and others get good prices. I never see glossostigma and I bid high for the hairgrass that I got last year. I think Sandu paid $12 for the crinum. While it is neat to get a really big Amazon sword for $10-$15, those kinds of plants are readily available and are also brought in by members to sell. You've done the auction for quite awhile, so you probably know the kinds of plants people usually bring in. I think if we order some more interesting and usual plants it will peak people's interest and be a more fun auction. I put some plants in bold that I thought would do well. Use your best judgment and see what can be available. We can spend up to $400. We are also getting bogwood, up to $150. We would like to get Kiki wood too. I don't suppose it can be a mixed bag? Susan
