Forget your flame suit Lisa....its a great idea. Of the total AOS membership, what percentage really exhibits their plants for judging? The AOS will always have to entertain a strong "newbie" contingent, and this will dry up with membership rates as they curently exist....not to mention most experienced growers too. Even without the newbies, the majority of AOS readers do not, at least regularly, enter their plants for judging.....and I think this majority must be attended to if the AOS is to be a viable organization. I, for one, am cautiously optimistic, as, for the first time in years, I have been very favorably impressed by the direction that the AOS leadership appears to be going in. Take care, Eric Muehlbauer in Queens NY....Cyp. p. pubescens just opened up, and my 2nd son graduated college on the same day....Columbia....Take care, Eric
