Fwd: *AUCTION-URGENT* (geeze I like seeing this in Subject Header) LOL

***hosta plant donation for Canadian Bidders ONLY***
      I'd like to donate a hosta for Auction, (a double-eye division, from a mature-clump) for ***Canadian Bidding/purchase ONLY/exclusively, since I cannot mail plants into the USA from Canada!
      This hosta-variety, in my opinion, is one of the *Top Breeder Plants* in the world today!  It produces seedlings having white-backed slug-resistant leaves, having leaf petioles & flower stems ranging from purple through to brilliant red; and this, goes right up into the leaf veining.  This cultivar holds it's leaf beauty almost up to snow-fall, in the same manner as rupifraga species i.e. highly frost resistant cell-structures.
      In light of the rarity of this item, I'm applying a reserve minimum-bid of: [$50.00 (US Funds)] on this purchase.  Any American wishing to obtain this excellent breeder-hosta plant, can obtain same from:

www.robynsnestnursery.com  [same price i.e. $50.00]
