IAS Auction

From: plantnut at shadow.net (Dewey Fisk) on 1998.08.29 at 19:02:15(2561) Greetings all. At the annual meeting in September the IAS will again have a Plant Auction. Please go to . There, Lester Kallus has scanned in some of the pictures of the plants that will be auctioned. You are invited to participate..... Plants shown and listed are for Auction on Sept. 25th at the IAS Annual Meeting. The auction will work in the following manner: Send Dewey Fisk a *private message* listing the highest bids that you are willing to pay for individual plants. You will then be in competition with the bidding floor. Example: You are willing to pay $150. for a plant but the highest bid on the floor was $95. The bidding has been in $5. increments... Your bid of $100. will be the sucessful bid. All bids will be confidential and will be known only to the person on the floor that is bidding for you and, of course, to Dewey. You will be notified after the meeting if your bid was successful and its amount. Shipping charges of between $3. & $5. will be added to your bid. You will then send a check or Visa/Master Card information to the IAS and the plant will be mailed to you via USPS Priority Mail. So, take a look at the photos and listed plants, decide if there is anything you like. All of the pictured plants were collected and cultivated in French Guiana by our Speaker, Joep Moonen owner of Emerald Jungle Village in French Guiana. Pictures were taken in the jungle of mature plants. Plants offered are divisions that have been growing in a mist chamber for the last month and are not necessarily mature plants as pictured. They will, however, be rooted and ready to grow in your location. Also available at Auction but not pictured are: Alocasia zebrina... about 2 ft. tall Alocasia Hybd. (between A. micholitziana and A. bullatus, about 12 in. tall) Alocasia sanderiana variegata (about 12 in. tall) Caladium bicolor var. rubricundum (in 4" pots from tissue culture) Amorphophallus konjac "Riorden Clone" (6" pots) Anthurium willifordii (6" pots) Gonatopus boivinii 'Green Clone' (6" pot) Anthurium lucidum (mature plant) Sorry, but, due to Customs restrictions, plants are available only to those who live in areas not requiring Phytosanitary Certificates.

From: Barbara_M._Humphreys at atlmug.org (Barbara M. Humphreys) on 1998.09.14 at 18:59:36(2600) I'd like description and photos of the Alocasias or Colocasias offered at the auction before bidding. Is that possible? Barbara M. Humphreys +More flowerlady@mindspring.com http://www.flowerlady.home.mindspring.com

From: plantnut at macconnect.com (Dewey Fisk) on 1998.10.08 at 12:55:22(2664) Hold all bets!!!! One of our local members has just donated a Philodendron tenue to the Auction to be held Saturday night, October 31st..... It is a beautiful plant with foliage that is 7 - 8 inches wide and about 10 " long. The ribbing is just delightful... Looks almost like an Anth. vietchii. This plant is a real jewel... I will be bidding on it myself... Dewey +More Dewey E. Fisk, Plant Nut THE PHILODENDRON PHREAQUE Your Source for Tropical Araceae

From: Jill Bell godjillab at home.com> on 2001.07.18 at 01:39:34(7064) Hello everyone, There is now a page for the IAS auction, including pictures that are clickable for a larger image on the IAS website. It is accessible from the home page or from the show information page. The page is not completed as of yet because all of the photos are not yet available to me, but it is as complete as it can be at this time, and it will be updated regularly. A direct link to the page is: If anyone has any suggestions or sees any mistakes please let me know. Best Regards, -- Jill Bell +More Graphic Design, Web Design, Illustration and Digital Photography

From: Al Wootten awootten at NRAO.EDU> on 2001.07.18 at 16:46:20(7069) Jill Great job on the IAS auction WWW page: The pix are great...nice to see so many interesting plants in one place. The Philodendron espiritu sancti is wow! And what an interesting collection of Alocasia. Alas, I'm thru Miami a week too early...probably couldn't keep them alive anyway...I seem to have failed miserably with a Spathiphyllum from Lowe's (needs more water than I can supply). Clear skies, Al

From: Jill Bell godjillab at home.com> on 2001.07.19 at 01:49:18(7071) Dear Al, Thanks for the kind words. Personally I think we should all get together to buy the espiritu sancti and tissue culture it. It is truly gorgeous. Forgive me for asking, but if you kill plants, what made you join IAS?? If you really love them, you could always hire someone to care for them. (just kidding, half the fun is the challenge.) Have a good evening!
