I agree Donald, we are working on consistency for SAs. We seem to have a
handle on it with recent intros like FLIGHT COMMANDER, MARGARET INEZ and
WING COMMANDER. I have noticed that when we move plants around to different
parts of the garden the appendages sometimes come in a different form; i.e..
horns instead of spoons and vice versa.
