Boy, oh boy! I just have to join in the fun, although half of what is offered I don't want/need. Doubt that I win, but if I do you can keep part of thise and list it with another auction. This seems to be a great idea you thought up while on your little medical vacation!!!! But please try to do any more thinking at home without the medical people's help! We miss you when you are not on Listia; especially some of the pictures of you!

Jay - want a picture of the surgical wound about 4 days after the operation? I used a filter that makes it all look like a fusion of abstract art and Andy Warhol.

Bidding tiers added -

7000 credits bid - HB 1996 facsimile edition, ''Histoire Naturelle des Indes'', The Drake Manuscript, New with DJ, ISBN 0-393-03994-3

7500 - a Hollyhock singles duet - - 12+ seed packet of Black Hollyhock and another of medium height Pinks.

8000 - a generic cellphone / digital device car-charger. Requires cigar lighter in vehicle.

8500 - enough STRAWBERRY FIELDS Globe Amaranth seed to cover 100 sq.ft nicely (2 tbsp.)

9000 - ¾ inch diam. GEMINI CHARM - gold-toned finish detail on obverse only, reverse is blank.

9500 - a 20-stick package of ''Opium'' incense by HEM, Mumbai, India will be added for the Auction Winner.

10,000 - Hardback bound journal with lined pages & gilded edges, ''Étude de la Nature'', with silk ribbon as bookmark. Covers are coloured illustrations of a Rothschild Glory Lily. bound - no exact page count give by publisher, but my own SWAG puts it above 200 (my own WAG). I use mine for planning additions to the micro-climates of my several garden beds. I find it a useful archive; more readily accessible and far less embarrassing than using an online journal. Plus I can write without even thinking about formatting ( read that remembering HTML code ).

Great Auction!!!! Watcher #47

May 27th, 2014 at 6:11:41 PM PDT by

OK, Lazio, you are now on my bad list: evidently you stole my gal friend cowboydianne as I haven't heard from her in months!!!! And I find her playing around here!!!! I don't care about the bulbs, but I do want to know about the Peanut Butter Bush/tree. Never heard of such and I want one!! So if you list Dahlia and/or lily bulbs for my gal friend that you stole from me, you better list Peanut Butter Bush for me!!!!!!

May 27th, 2014 at 3:53:52 PM PDT by

Hello! Welcome back :) I'm glad you are feeling better health and I wish you a speedy recovery! The mind and the will to live is the key to surviving any illness...Always stay Positive!!
And Wow =:O Super Great Auction :-)) Watching until the end! Light, love and a lot of Blessings to you my friend!

May 27th, 2014 at 12:11:07 PM PDT by

Wow! Awesome auction, watching & trying to bid. Will you be listing the Dahlia and/or Lily bulbs in a separate auction sometime? If so pls. let me know. Glad you survived surgery and welcome back!

May 27th, 2014 at 11:47:41 AM PDT by

Hi friend! I found you....lol
I've fanned you & I'm watcher #48.

After those Glads are swept into the auction shipping basket there is another copy of the hardbound facsimile, with dust-jacket, of The Drake Manuscript in The Pierpont Morgan Library -aka- ''Historie Naturelle de Indes''. This was the first published book concerned with the flora and fauna of the islands of the West Indies. It is a literary and scientific product of the 1567 voyage there by Englishman & sometimes privateer Francis Drake. This will go to the Auction Winner upon the raising of current bid to 7000.

New bidding tier ** attained **

We're over 6000 credits bid - - bless you, Donna the DreamWeaver ! Espresso will now have its Florentina and gladiola lust will resound throughout somebody's garden ...

May 27th, 2014 at 9:22:14 AM PDT by

Watchers : we now have 40 so the bay leaves, tall red celosia, Genovese basil are joined by rosemary skewers & baggie of loose whole rosemary leaves in the Auction Winner's shopping cart ...

Just as a fantastic CD ( ''Blues Deluxe'' by Joe Bonamassa ) is ready for shipping with surprise lilies, seeds for foxglove, peanut butter bush, a half-dozen top-size dahlia tubers and another half-dozen - - terribly lonesome - - Espresso gladiolus bulbs. Longing for pairing with 6 Florentina glad bulbs ... merely the bidding of 250 credits distant (but yet so far?)

I say, ''Nay! Nay!'' For I know that someone wants to be able to grow that gorgeously classic dark-light gladiolus pair. The Auction Winner is going to have terrfic perennials to plant now for some summer colour & huge beauty come late spring 2015.

Next watcher tier to aim for is 50 watchers ... That will but seeds for growing a great cultivar of the Golden Dewdrop bush, named ''Periwinkle'' for the abundant blue flowers who's nectar makes this plant a bee magnet. When blooms no longer make the nectar, small round fruits form in their place - - golden in colour, reminiscent of drops of dew. Birds love to eat the fruits - - and seem the be a major vector contributing to the inceasing occurrences of Duranta Erecta ''volunteers'' around my town in central TX.

Hay , you are a true gardener , love you auc's hope to bid. don't have a lot of credits , love all the flowers , hope you get better in your back .

May 27th, 2014 at 6:48:07 AM PDT by

Hank,
Thanks so much your kind wishes and those of your sweet wife, Sue.

Keep an eye on my profile page for more traditional seed & bulb offerings -- I'll be starting a not-so-playin'-in-dirt tiered auction (#3) featuring only the odd seed packet or two & it will have a 21 day run instead of 7.

Any seeds or bulbs not added to the Tiered Auction #2 because levels of watchers or credits bid were not reached will be listed again but individually. Non-garden items will probably carry over to my next tiered gardener listing.

And of course, in auctions of individual items can be listed with a GIN option should someone just simply ask me to list with GIN. Something very important to me - - Ask for GIN auctions only in a private email.

I've decided to ignore all requests for adding GIN that are attempted to be submitted as auction comments. They'll just be marked hidden. If there is any boorish texting the perp will get into my ultra-exclusive ban(ne)d.

I hope against hope that I haven't shared TMI ... and that you have confidence that there will be plently of items for lower bids. Some item listings will be noted as being one of multiple or similar auctions.

Well, alrighty then... 'bout time to stop typing and send this. ATBTY, Hank.
