Barry,

Tom Hayes here and I just wanted to ask if your intention here is for money,
or if you might like to get these back at some point in the future? If you
are looking for a good temporary home for any plants that you don't have
room to keep, I have two very large bogs that could easily accomodate some
plants until you are in a position to get them back. If any of this sounds
good, let me know if I can help.

>From your list I would be interested in the following:

>S. alata 1---a plant with tall green pitchers bearing delicate red veins.
>The flowers are cream coloured, like old lace, and are very large.
>Several flowering size crowns are available for $4 each.
>
>S. alata 2---a plant with short, robust green pitchers covered with a
>dense pubescence (hairiness). Flowers are medium-large.
>One flowering size crown is available for $4.
>
>S. alata 3---a plant with tall, narrow pitchers that after a year of
>uninterrupted growth become suffused with dark red pigmentation throughout.
>Glorious! The flowers are cream-yellow, making a marvelous contrast.
>One flowering size crown is available for $7.
>
>S. flava 4---this stunning specimen is suffused with a red glow throughout
>the pitcher, except the lid which is bright yellow-green and veined with
>red. I will miss this Florida plant.
>One or two flowering size crowns are available for $7 each.
>
>S. flava 5---My most gargantuan Sarracenia. This plant is all green except
>a red throat splotch. The first pitcher it produces each year is as large
>as any I have seen---including many field trips in the wild. Another plant
>from Florida that I will miss.
>One, maybe two flowering size crowns, are available for $8 each.
>
>S. flava 7---Another plant of unsurpassed beauty---this specimen is tall
>and elegant, but its great attraction are the thick red veins that extend
>from the ground---up the pitcher---to diverge into wild baroque reticulation
>on the lid. From Florida
>One, maybe two flowering crowns are available for $8 each.
>
>S. leucophylla 3---a sturdy plant with a different character to the red
>veining. It has a wider, flared mouth and hails from Chipola, Florida
>One or two juvenile crowns are available for $4 each.
>
>S. minor 1---Typical plants yet not prone to the toppling-over syndrome
>that many specimens display. Fine plants.
>Several crowns are available for $4 each.
>
>S. minor 3---Without a doubt in my mind, the single finest specimen in my
>collection. This plant comes from the Okefenokee swamp and grows two or
>three times as tall as normal S. minor, yet under normal light it does not
>topple or become flimsy because the pitchers are so strong. This will be
>the hardest plant to box and send away.
>A few crowns are available for $8 each.
>
>S. rubra ssp. gulfensis 1---A strong, typical plant from Walton Co.
>A single juvenile crown is available for $4.
>
>S. rubra ssp. gulfensis 5---This is a rare plant, found in Taylor Co., GA.
>Those who study the species call this an ``ancestral form.''
>A few juvenile/mature crowns are available for $6 each.
>
>S. rubra ssp. jonesii 1---This is an extremely rare plant. This particular
>specimen is delightful in growing nearly pure red in full light.
>A few mature crowns are available for $10 each.
>
>S. rubra ssp. wherryi 2---unlike the previous clone, this unique specimen
>produces yellow-flowers which still have the strong strawberry smell
>characteristic of this species.
>A few crowns are available for $6 each.

If you would prefer money, let me know what the damage would be, and I will
discuss the matter with my friend Dave Evans.

Take care & keep on growing,

-Tom- & Krissy
