:wub: you guys are great.

I will add in these 5 degrafted lophs. They are either degrafted or seed grown I'm not sure. They are not the most beautiful plants but they are healthy. I think the pot is 135mm . I'm not at home at the moment so can't get better picks.

I'll throw in an Amazonian print for microscopy, a small but healthy iboga, 10x Acacia phlebophylla seed, and 4x Acacia peuce seed.</p>

The last one is a <em>very rare</em> desert acacia, collected by a friend on a recent university research expedition. I'm told it grows to about 20m with tap roots as deep as 80m to access deep water planes. Germination rates are reported very high with simple cold water soaking overnight - no need for scarification. I've been considering growing them in lengths of PVC pipe with a mostly perlite soil mix, very free draining

http://www.environment.gov.au/cgi-bin/sprat/public/publicspecies.pl?taxon_id=8301

It's a threatened species with quite limited distribution, consider it an act of conservation to grow it :)

The pot sizes are 190 mm . So a bit bigger than first thought. :)

So before I bid adding my own disclaimer:

If the money goes direct to the teams account as in past auctions (?) & is tax claimable (?)

& Are really all those things up for offer? If so....

Not too put a damperna on it but who pays postage for all that? from the various sources.

Would really like to get Big reds massage but....

& its a good cause then

& can we private bid or is this an open bid?

Some things are only up for offer once the bidding reaches a certain amount , see in particular post # 16, 17, and 18. :)

As for postage, the winner will PM their addy to me and i will pay for postage. I imagine that's how it would work for the other donators, but this would need clarification?!

EDIT: Pay for postage on my offer that is, lol.
