Dear Roy, Florida Aquatic Nursery is
correct. I saw a talk at the AGA as to how they do it and I am
sold. Basically a number of smaller tissue culture in Florida sell
through FAN. This page by Dr. Mike gives a good overview and group
activity in tissue culture. (Yes, I am temped!) http://www.kitchenculturekit.com/aquatic.htm
Sam is a guy. He has
contacts with the wholesalers and places our order through Africans’s
Northwest. I am communicating over email with him and will send the $
when we know. I have never met him or seen him at a meeting but he always
comes through. As the order is placed early Feb we can change, but
I am breaking the habit of last minute and failed communication. If the posters for the Feb
auction are ready I would be happy to send them to my fancy color laser and
bring them to the meeting for distribution. I remember we had a list and
MEMBERS to visit the store. Sounds like a task for someone whom can have
more than two thoughts at one. -Paul From:

Of Seattle_Aquarist Hi Paul, Sorry, who is Sam and what is FAN, Florida Aquatic Nursery?
Is that where we are getting the plants again this year? If I remember correctly we had excellent attendance last year, a
lot of plants, and we raised a lot of money for the club. In fact I think
someone said it was the most successful plant auction ever. If we
promoted the GSAS Plant Auction on Craig’s List and a couple of the
planted aquarium websites effectively we might need more room. Meredith which
room is currently “booked” for in February? Roy From:

Behalf Of Paul M. Wallace Sam made it happen! The
plants were direct from FAN and delivered the day of to stay
“fresh.” We need a $ and pick up the day of. The
number is generally $300-350. The FAN order for the April
auction with a square foot or cobra grass was a donation (Thanks Phil). -Paul From:

Behalf Of Seattle_Aquarist Hi Paul, Board, et al, Where did we get the excellent plants that we had last year and
what was the budget? Roy From:
gsas-board-bounces@thekrib.com [mailto:gsas-board-bounces@thekrib.com] On
Behalf Of Paul M. Wallace Dear Board, I would like to contact Africans northwest to
order plants for Feb. Do we have a cash value in mind? Once I see
what is available I will make specific requests. -Paul |
