Pete,
Thank you for the update on the International Aroid Symposium. Is there any
chance of having the symposium during one of the Royal Horticultural Society
shows? You mentioned August so I don't know how set your time table is at
this point, or what RHS events are possibly held then too. I know that the
annually phenomenal Chelsea Show is in late May, and then there is the
equally impressive Hampton Court Show in June. I think that such timing
would be very well received by many, especially for us horticulturally
inclined types to be able to see a RHS show along with attending the
symposium. I think that my preference would be echoed by many others that
are on Aroid-L that might be considering attending the symposium even though
it is three years away. A well timed symposium with the possibility of
attending a RHS show would be a further draw and inducement to attend.
Please let us know if this is possible.
Best regards, Scott
