I haven't been around for a while so some of you won't know me. In the past, I would often ask for a poem/haiku or some other intangible as my trade. So why break a trend?

Today I offer Pecteilis hawkesiana - nice bulb with leaf.

Since I'm trying to end up with fewer plants, here's what I'd like for this trade...

Make a donation to your favorite charity (mine is animal related such as ASPCA). Your donation should be the charity of your choice, rules as follows...

1. $15 minimum donation, 1st come 1st served. More generous donations will get extra orchids included. Generosity begets generosity! (I've got some really nice plants ready for ebay...)

2. I pay for shipping.

3. Since people too often are less than honest, I need proof - such as an email from the beneficiary showing the donation, a scrubbed check (I don't need your account #, etc). In short, some real proof that you made the donation.

4. Donation must be after today - this offer has to be the incentive. Proof must be dated.

5. If there's a tie (I doubt) then we'll do something else fun - maybe we ask the forum to help decide? I dunno.

Generosity begets generosity,

Carolyn
