As one who has never voted in a TB symposium, I can try to explain
why I never voted. 1) don't see enough TB's to make an informed
decision
2) don't see the *point* of a beauty contest for current flowers
3) seems like the same 15 or 20 `win' in all sections of N. America
4) think they are too many TB's grown now in gardens to the detriment
of the genus

Two points here: a) this is not a valid survey because of the small
percentages
b) thank you for telling us what part of the continent
your region covers - it is helpful, Arnold
In trying to be succinct and following our leader's rules )))) ,
I hope no one construes this short post to be a `flame' at the TB
symposiums. It isn't.
