Re: [hostapix] sports

Bill and other sport addicts,
    Pictures can be shared on hostapix or sent to Dan and/or myself. We have already started saving pix of sports. We understand that some of these sports are already well established cultivars that are widely available. We do not plan on competing with the hostalibrary (Bob has been a great ally and we will not attempt to detract from the library) --but rather see hostasports.com as a vehicle to advance the knowledge and interest in "sports" by providing info and "sports" photos.
 
Categories????? Well, that a good question! I assume when hostas fit into the present format of hostasports they will be added there--a link can also be provided to the new section (category?) so they can be doubly additive. I'd like to see more discussion and brain searching to help us come up with the best categories and format.
 
We hope to get the website fired back up soon and will be contacting those that have offered to help.
 
Thanks to those that have already contributed and thanks in advance to those that will do so in the future.
Keep them hostasport photos coming!!!!!!

Hi Preston and Dan,
       Glad to hear you guys are taking on the task. How about an address where you want them sent, and when should we start? I suggest that you divide them into categories------something like:
 
 1. Completely sported plants---stable forms and such
 2. Partially sported plants---those heading towards a normal recognised form
 3. Oddities------weird things like the twin spot or strange scapes, etc.
 
       If anything comes in that might be viral in nature, I understand that Dr. Lockhart is also pushing to get a lot of material to study this year, and asks that anyone finding suspected virus- infected plants send leaf samples to him or photos if this is not possible.

Dr. Lockhart's address is:

St. Paul, Minnesota, 55108
(651) 625-5785
 
Sorry I don't have an E-mail address for him, does anyone else have it?

Dan and I will be saving the "sports" pictures and hopefully will be adding them to hostasports.com when we get it back up and running. Yes, we are reviving the website.

Have we started collecting "sports" pictures yet?

If so -- were was I supposed to send them again?

Here is a sport of 'Sea Thunder' and the leaf in the front is a sport of
'France'
