[APD] Rare Crypts expected

[fishvet at fishvet_com]

To all you Cryptocoryne enthusiasts.

With some great efforts we hope to have another delivery in 3-4 weeks time 
of some very rare Crypts. Most if not all of these have not been available 
on the USA market, to the best of our knowledge.

We are only able to obtain a few specimens of each type ( below), no more 
than 5-8 and in some cases less.

We will keep at least one maybe 2 , for attempts in our tissue culture lab, 
and the rest will be offered to Hobbyists who have a particular interest in 
this genus of plants. They will be offered on a first come first served 
basis, so one should contact us right away, if you have a special interest.

We do not have a final price yet, but they will be quite expensive, but 
less than half the price offered on the Japanese sites, so in that sense 
only they will be a bargain. On the last shipment, we actually lost a 
couple of hundred dollars, as the cost of small shipments is much higher, 
customs clearance is the same irrespective of value, and shipping incurs 
about three times the cost per Kg. In addition we have to pay someone to 
collect these specially for us, and this means we pay a high originating cost.

The plants we expect are C. timahensis, C.ferruginea, C. keei, C.striolata, 
( only about 6 of these), C.uenoi, C yujii, C.bullosa, C cordata v zonata.

There just might be one or two more. we can obtain. Photos of one or two of 
these are on our web sites , though not all of them . Should any of you 
want a photo, I can attach it to a reply by e-mail

Yours

Shawn Prescott
