Major haul from bacps show!
Whoa, I think you two are the only ones who sold tho. Actually I was wondering why no one was bidding on the plants... I mean they all look so nice. The couple next to me bought a bunch of plants at the starting bid price! Hmm, visitors... would you mined if I became one of those visitors? hehe =P
Wow you had that stenophylla for 6 years! What made you decide to give it up? Too many of them from cuttings?
Nobody made a guess on the price... maybe I should post a pic on the nep board and see if anybody could guess it. =P

The auction was supposed to start promptly at 1:00. I don't think they started until 2:30 or so. By that time the main crowd had already filtered through and there were only a few people left. The plants that didn't go were put on my sales table and sold later anyways. Also, Sundays are not always the best day to host an event like this and coupled with the seriously scary torrential monsoon downpour we had earlier that morning I think it kept many people at bay.
I decided to let the stenophylla go because I often replace species in the collection with better quality plants. There's nothing wrong with it, I just got a much better clone. I knew who ever got it would love all the crowns this thing was sprouting and I wasn't interested in keeping any. So voila! You get the whole enchilada....er...Nepenthes

I can take credit for over 10% of those sales from Phil and Don! LOL!!! Mostly Don, actually, as he had a terrific nepenthes assortment for sale at great prices. Hortus Botanicus was there with a TON of great nepenthes too, but they were much smaller and more expensive than Don's. Does he have a website? Does he normally sell commercially? Because I have more money than brains, as some of you well know.
I wish I could have bid on that auction N. ampularia, but the darn things need warmth, and I can't provide it. I should have gone for the giant red amp cutting, too, but that other person seemed to want it real bad. It could have fit in my tank, at least for a while.
Again, a great show, albeit a dangerous one for us cp addicts. Also, I wanted to give a shout out to Phil for the auction plants, and to everyone who donated plants for the raffle. Nobody has really mentioned the raffle, but there were TONS of great plants donated by members for it! A lot of people left with plants who might not otherwise have done so. Big thanks to Spec and his "assistant" for running the raffle!
