August Meeting

[FishEggs]

Could be. It predates us on the property and is one of the biggest I have seen.

well if it is predating on humans it would have to be really big.

[Cristy Keister]

Will this be a cookout or a stack of pizzas?

[Tim_Koles]

Cookout

[Allen]

I still need to decide between this meeting and the Northern Virginia Reptile Expo. If I do come I will probably bring either Spanakopitas or Wontons from Costco. I also happen to have, by coincidence, some emersed Ludwigia repens and another species that is maybe brevipes that hitchhiked into my bog garden. I also have lots of spare subwassertang, amazon frogbit, some emersed rotala (maybe rotundifolia?).

It also seems that rain is forecast for this area this Saturday. Will the meeting still be possible if this happens?

[Tim_Koles]

As of right now it looks to be clear until later in the evening. That seems to be somewhat consistent in the forecast. At least until I write this down.....

[JLW]

Seems like we've been getting a regular rain dowsing right around 5-PM most days lately, but the day itself is usually pretty clear.

Wish it would wait a bit later.

"That's how conditions are.
The rain may never fall till after sundown."

[GOT MTS?]

Is anyone bringing cherry shrimp? A friend of mine is looking for some. I'm looking for native plants if anyone has any.

[Tim_Koles]

I have several natives and I'm looking for others as well

[Allen]

I'm pretty sure I will come. Is frogbit too common to bring? I also have many plants that have been growing in a pond but I think there is damselfly larvae in the pond.

I also have many assassin snails.

I don't have much fishy stuff to bring (my frogbit, dwarf water lettuce, and salvinia turned out to be invested with dreaded utricularia) but I will pick up some food at whole foods! What do we need?
