It helps those who would donate plants and other items to the auction to hear what it is that auction participants would like to bid on. What would you like to win in this year's auction? Photo is just to add some visual interest.

Here is the start of my "want" list. Keep an eye on this list as I'll be adding more things!!

Native ferns
Small tropical ferns
Ground orchids
Jewel orchids
Plant tags (yep, just normal plant tags)
Eucalyptus tree (any fragrant sp.)
Frankincense tree (Boswellia sp.)
Copal tree (Bursera sp.)
Myrrh tree (Commiphora sp.)
Miracle fruit tree (Synsepalum dulcificum)
Stevia rebaudiana (plant or seeds)
I have some plant tags, how many would you want?
 
South African sundew species less common in cultivation, South American species, N. hamata or edwardsiana (I can dream...), uncommon Utricularia species....the list is probably longer than I can type here.
 
I'd bid on a pair or two of tie-dyed socks. The last ones I bought at the auction have just died on me.
 
Would there be any interest in a N. sanguinea basal with a 5-6 inch leaf span?
 
I'd be interested in live sphagnum. Specifically colorful or tropical species.

Heliamphora :love:

But I've been known to bid on Sarracenia, Drosera, and Utricularia before...

I might like to see a N Rafflesiana var. alata Mizuho Kondo or one N. rafflesiana x Hemsleyana that I might have recently commented on 😁. Echos to the live sphag and HC's request for a Hamata or Edwardsiana. I also wouldn't mind N. Macrophylla, Lowii or Trusmadiensis making a showing either. Although I recognize that these are a bit of a stretch 😏. I'm sure I'd love a P. Cyclosecta 🤔 and I've seen some great examples of the D. petiolaris complex here 👀. Always love me some tropical Drosera too 😋. Might be nice to have some sarracenia seeds offered; both premium crosses and "complex hybrids" ⚖. Lastly, looking to get my UHLers some friends. So Leptospermum (tea tree), Odontoglossum Wyattianum, and other high elevation companions.

I am finally settled in my new house. Looking for tropical mosses for an indoor project, mini ferns,sarrs for the second bog and small seedlings for bonsia ideas
 
  • #13
I'd be most interested in a young Aloe Hercules.
I'll also keep an eye out for interesting Yucca, succulents, and cacti.
(I don't grow carnivorous plants anymore.)
 
  • #15
All of the Utricularia, for sure.
 
  • #16
CPs: I'm a sucker for pings, especially temperate varieties, tropical, pygmy or spatulata sundew varieties, and helis. I've been known to throw down for sarra seeds a time or two.... Non-CPs: orchids of all kinds, air plants, and interesting aloes.
 
  • #17
I'd like to see a some Nepenthes cuttings or A Ramispina
 
  • #18
South African Drosera are always great... Also keeping my eye out for some interesting pings.
 
  • #19
Utricularia especially pubescens, other unusual terrestrials, or any of the various epiphytes; Mexican Pinguicula species; epiphytic and lithophytic ferns; maybe handmade pottery?
 
  • #20
Cephs, D. prolifera, Mexican Pings: P. medusina, P. moctezumae, P. 'Aphrodite', P. laueana Crimson and others. ;P
