Greetings,This is a reminder that our Mini Auction Fundraiser ends

We will not have a chance to hold another such auction until at least
late April or May.
See part way down our homepage for the auction plant listings:
http://www.sacredsucculents.com
M_ake sure to email all bids by 6:30 pm_! We  honor the email bids as
first come first serve, so if we don’t respond  right away—do not
worry, we will honor your bid in the order it was  received. 
Our Specimen Plant listing has been updated for March, see below the
auction on the homepage.Those in the region should go out of their way
to see _Microcosms: A Homage to Sacred Plants of the Americas;_ an
exhibition of confocal microscopy at the Richard F. Brush Art Gallery
in Canton, NY. We contributed plants that were imaged for this
arresting display that is "at the juncture of art, technology and
science." For more info see:

Botanical Dimensions is having their annual Book Sale March 21 in
Occidental. We will be bringing some select books and plants to the
event. This is a great opportunity to obtain rare plant and
ethnobotany related titles and connect with like minded folk.
Botanical Dimensions also has many unique classes and talks coming up
and an amazing ethnobotanical library accessible with membership --

Second Mini Auction Fundraiser 
This  is a unique chance to obtain new introductions, rarities,
specimens and  mother plants. The auction is posted on the second half
of our homepage  ( http://sacredsucculents.com  )  This is a one time
offer for most of these plants–they will not be  available again!
Plants are available to US customers only._The auction ends Monday
March 9 at 6:30 pm PST._ Know  that auction purchases will directly
fund nursery repairs–constructing  new nursery benches and
rebuilding several shade structures, ongoing  tech upgrades as well as
our continual research and conservation work.
Bidding process is the same as last auction and simplified from early
auctions. _With this auction what you bid is exactly what you will pay
if you have the winning high bid when the auction ends._  This differs
from  our first four auctions where the high bid was  hidden and
determined to be just $1 over the previous bidders high bid.For 
example for the current auction: If the current bid on a plant is $35 
and you bid $50 the high bid price is then moved to $50 (NOT $36 like 
the earlier auctions) and the next bidder has to bid over that ($51 or
 more) -- if you have the highest bid when the auction closes then you
 win that plant and your high bid is exactly what you pay (plus 
shipping).
To place a bid- ( please read fully before bidding! )Email us (
benkamm at monitor.net ) with “SS auction” in the subject header. In
the body of the email list - 1)  The name of each plant you are
bidding on with the amount you are  bidding next to the name (must be
equal to or greater than the “minimum  starting bid” or current
“high bid”).  2) Your full name and complete shipping address.
_Placing  a bid is binding, so please do not bid unless you are
committed to  buying! Again please do not bid if you are not 100%
committed and do not  bid beyond your means._
We  honor the email bids as first come first serve, so if we don’t
respond  right away—do not worry, we will honor your bid in the
order it was  received! The auction will be updated at least once a
day by 5 pm, more  often the final day. Towards the end of the auction
can get hectic and  we may not be able to notify you in a timely
manner if you’ve been  outbid during this last phase–we recommend
checking the website  periodically to see the current high bids. 
The  auction closes 6:30 pm PST Monday, March 9. You will be contacted
by  email that evening for the auction plants you have won. Our
regular  shipping costs apply. Placing a bid is binding, so please do
not bid  unless you are committed to buying! Payment (cash, check,
money order or  Western Union) will need to be sent promptly on
Tuesday March 10. Your  plants will be shipped as soon as payment is
received.
