I see a lot more than 2 or 3 that grow well and are 
really beautiful, and I'm sorry you don't, but that's 
beside the point. Email voting has been an regional 
option for a year or two now. Any AIS member wishing 
to vote the Symposium by email should contact the 
appropriate RVP. The ballot list is supposed to
be on the AIS web site, and if it isn't, it is 
available at:

"But semi-tropical and sub-Arctic irisarians have the same deadlines,"
he said, mimicking Voltaire's reply to those who complained that laws
against begging discriminated against the poor: "Rich and poor alike are
forbidden to beg on the streets of Paris."

But rest assured, the topic will be discussed at the fall board meeting.
We cannot depend on having future counts done as quickly as this year's,
but I think there is some room for schedule improvement.
