Re: [GSAS-Member] Last call for HAP award

[Erik Olson <erik@thekrib.com>]

Hi Anita,

Plants are definitely welcome at the general auction.  The usual rules 
apply of no more than 20 lots per seller.  In addition, speaking for the 
auctioneers, we'd request that folks not bring 20 lots of the same item. 
As we try to give preference to the pink-labeled member items, it gets 
very difficult to auction them off after the fifth lot!

I won't address the banned plants issue.  I should really be a better role 
model, I suppose, but I still keep Hygro polysperma!
