Hi to all,

Guys from NASH, I am looking for bits of E.tenellus, glosso, and any other foreground plants(save HC and Lilaeopsis). If you have any of these and don't mind donating a lil to yours truly, I would very much appreciate it I have bits and pieces of all kinds of plants. If you are in need or anything in particular, lemme know and if I have them, they are yours.

In any case, something more or less uncommon that I have and trying to propagate:

-Echinodorus deep purple
-Echinodorus red chilli
-Echinodorus tri Color
-Marsilea minuta

These are the plants I am currently propagating so if you are interested and you have the plants I am looking for, we can do some kindda swap.
Thanks for the big help!

Paul,

We're sending a huge care package for NASH. Luis should have it by Wednesday this week.
I'm not sure exactly what's in it, but I think there were a few foreground type plants.

So, is this Friday the meeting, or is that just a get-together and the actual meeting will be later? I don't want to miss out, but Friday I'll be driving all day (from Stamford to Houston...Friday night I'll be a Houstonian again!!!!!) .

-Dave

 

[The old man]

Let me know where and when cause I really don't want to miss this. I was hoping it would be closer to where I work this time. Maybe if we have it on the west side somewhere Complexity can make it too.

 

[Paul Higashikawa]

Hey John, good to see you, man! Lemme know what works best for ya with respect to the plants. Perhaps we can meet somewhere in the middle of Houston. It's all good


Luis, I will be in Austin this Friday so will have to miss out on the pizzas. Got myself a Halloween parade in Austin..OHHHHYEAH!!! 6th street, baby
With that being said, what a bummer I will miss to see all the plants that will arrive this weekend. Are we sure they will get there by this Friday?

 

[Navarro]

Houston we have a problem I guess we will have to do this Saturday instead I completely forgot about the Halloween deal and having two small children I have to be there!
What do you think? If you have any more suggestion let us know but we have to do this Saturday the latest.

Yeah, I'm still hanging around. Been busy with a new job. We're building a house too, so life's a little hectic right now. I'm hoping to upgrade to a 120cm tank after I move in depending on funds. I should be able to make it Saturday if that is the plan. I'd like a few rare plants for sure.

Paul,
What day & time would be good to meet up. I can't do Thursday or Friday this week, but anything else is fine.
