Oh good! I'll bring my plant ID books.

Subject: [GSAS-Member] PLANTS next Tuesday!

Guess what was waiting in a big box for me when I got home this afternoon?
[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!
