I will have only one plant I'm bringing this month; Utricularia calycifida 'Mrs. Marsh'.

It's a terrestrial bladderwort grown for it's purple veined leaves and larger pink-purple flowers. It's one that I don't think even our host Mike Szesze has. So bring lots 'o money as bidding will be brisk!

I'll be there. I don't have any plants to bring. They haven't been growing since my CO2 ran out a couple weeks ago and I haven't had time to replace it.

Have a ton to trim, little hesitant to load it up as this is looking to be a small meeting. Mostly higher light type stuff. Summertime is rough for GWAPA meetings!

If it makes you feel any better, Dave, I may not be bringing anything, since I've already trimmed, and have rescaped most of my tanks so they're in the "growing in" phase. It's your market.

Bah, there are only like a handful that ever want the high light stuff!

Sure I'll bring some things, like to see the club members get to try out new stuff.

That's because you scare folks, Dave! Highlight plants aren't scary. For the prices, everyone ought to take some plants home, and if they die, so what. You might just find your favorite plant, or even a plant that we think is only highlight, that grows in a multitude of conditions. Never know until you try!

I usually put new plants in the best of conditions. Highest light tank, CO2 and the ones that show potential of growing (or at least surviving) in lower light I move them to other tanks. This allows me to have room for other things to try. So ... keep them coming

All right, I will bring some easy to grow, low light plants such as:

- Echinodorus tenellus 'micro'
- Eleocharis sp. 'Murphy'
- Vallisneria americana
- Vallisneria spiralis
- Marsilea quadrifolia
- Cryptocoryne sp. (probably wendtii)
- Cryptocoryne pontederiifolia

They might be expensive, but they are worth every penny.

I'll bring some Java Fern for the auction. If anyone want to buy some, I have plenty...
