Just a few days to go. I will see what else I have around here that can sweeten the deal :)

Thanks to everyone who has bid. If you can please help support WT on his selfless effort to help people in need. Even $5 goes a long way.

I forgot to add my sweetener! Thank you again sharxx and thank you endrofinder. A $20 donation can provide families in Timor-Leste with vegetable seeds, increasing nutrition and market opportunities. $100 = is enough to provide medicines to one village in Laos to treat common illnesses and prevent disease

oh sweet we will start again and end it say on fri 8pm? 130 starting bid bah hah hah ill let wt set rules plants are yours bro do what thou wilt!!!

I could chuck in a large stapelia gigantea cutiing.

ill keep adding to this list, im clearing out the old greenhouse and moving to a newy so thinning out stock.

I encourage other members to do otherwise? someone could compile the list of plants etc set up another thread?

I think charity plant auctions are a great way that the forum can support good causes.

Incognito, maybe start a new thread for another auction with your contributions and we can have another round? maybe again ending on Sunday? Seems we were both late to the party.

I think it would be better to start a new thread for a new auction otherwise the new auction may get lost in the mix. I'm happy to start it and collate all the current offers with attributions into the first post if everyone is in agreement. Also happy to leave it all here if thats the way the energy is going.

Please do that simhanada, I've lost track of what's part of the new auction and what's part of the old. :)

My donation is enough to pay for training of peer educators in Zimbabwe who can then educate young people about HIV/AIDS, I'm totally down with that. :)

thanks again WT & sharxx !!

if you are interested I have pics of my feet after the 24 hour Melbourne event. I lost 6 toe nails that day and had a fat ankle for weeks.

The day after, my caring wife forced me to go to collingwood childrens farm - as I couldn't get me shoes on I wore thongs. it was raining You can imagine I was inches deep in farm shit which found its way into all my blisters . Yum! :puke:
