It is a nice list. Many speakers will bring auction plants to club meetings. Often they are recent introductions of the speaker. I believe standard practice is to split the amount raised between the speaker and the club (I could be mistaken about that though.)
Most of the time the plants sell for less than the list price so it is a great deal for us.
If you ever get a chance to go to any of the AHS regional meetings or the National meeting, there are plants offered there as well: a silent auction of plants donated by member clubs and a table sale. The club that hosts the meeting will often have raffles that include plants.
For example NADS, my club, is in region 14 and we hosted the Summer Region 14 meeting here in Huntsville this June. There were several big collections that were single raffle items. Our club was extra fortunate, we were able to get Larry Grace as the speaker AND he and his wife donated not one, but two entire 2014 collections for the raffle. Also raffled off were the entire 2014 collections of introductions from Fred Manning, Josh Jaques, and Jim & Martha Brazelton (daughter of Richard Webster), in addition to selected intros of the Salters, and the Trimmers.
I was extremely fortunate and won one of the other raffle items: 5 plants from Karol Emmerich's 2012 Intros donated by club member Willie Marcus: Vanishing Mist, Skin of My Teeth, Stranger in a Strange Land, Crown of Splendor and Chariot of Clouds
