Re: [GSAS-Member] PLANTS next Tuesday!
That's so cool.
If you need to divide and bag them to be the portion for the auction before
the meeting or something, let me know. I can come in little early and help if
you need it.
It can be tough but I think(I'm not 100% positive but let just say I'll try)
I can open and zip the bags if you need extra hands.

[Testing...see image attachments -- hopefully they won't be scrubbed!]
Two boxes of aquatic plants by way of our speaker for next Tuesday, Luis
Navarro, that's what!
One box is a large donation from Aquarium Design Group
(www.aquariumdesigngroup.com), one of the country's best pro aquascaping
companies based in Houston. They're Florida Aquatic Nurseries, and just
peeking into the box, I see lots of potted Kleiner Bar swords, some
Telanthera species (Alternanthera), and broad-leaf Ludwigia. There's also
some large bags of stem plants that I can't yet ID.
The other box comes from Luis himself, and has some neat rare stuff.
Pogostemon stellata (the plant formerly known as Eusteralis stellata),
Rotala nanjenshan, Marsilea minuta, Hygrophila spp. Porto Velho "rare",
Ludwigia senegalensis Africa "rare", and a mystery moss cited by Takashi
Amano in his 2004 AGA presentation.
I'd better get them in water and under lights. These will all most likely
be auctioned after Luis' presentation on Tuesday night. One more reason
to be there!
