Hi all,
Well the Townsville trip went well, it was a long long day but well worth it, I think. I saw a plant Ae Karla that looks better in the pic than in real life. It is quite rare in Aust, I think this was the second sold here. I would need to win lotto to pay for it. It went for $1875.00 on ebay and a problem arose, then it was negotiated for an undisclosed figure. The next one went for $1125.00 but I haven't seen that one. This is Pic 1.
Pic 2 is Ae spherocephala and was a swap for another plant that I had . I have to chase up a couple more plants because I have different contacts.I guess thi is where I start to wheel and deal and I will be fair.
Pic 3 Is Crypthansus Ruby and already I have locals chasing it.
Pic 4 Neo angustifolia, a new purchase from the week end
Pic 5 is just a little something that I had hanging around, what a surprise I got when I lifted it down to move a leaf.
That is it for tonight
Have a good one
Ian
