Decided to go down to the Raleigh Aquarium Society's Fall Auction this past sunday.
Like I needed to find more stuff?????

anyhow, did manage to get a few pretty good plants, one I haven't seen before, but I know it's out there.....

crypt. moehlmannii (couple plants nice shape)
crypt. spiralis (couple plants, good size and nice roots)
Lagenandra meeboldii "pink" (really nice plant, well grown, healthy stolan, for those that have not seen them, it looks like a cross between a crypt and anubias.

I have been told they can get "big" so i will keep an eye on it and see how it does for me...

loads of decent sized anubias went through the auction... Someone must have hacked up a huge batch of it.

oh,,,, also got a Pitcher Plant..... will winter it in my small pond and figure out where to put it in the spring.

I have never considered the Raleigh auction a place to get plants. I haven't been in years. If I can ever get back going, I'll have to go sometime. Sounds like some good finds.

Yeah really/.....
and I was told that they tend to have more variety at their spring auction....
maybe worth a carpool....
