*** With my welcome of Paul Aden into the group, I used the following Aims & Objectives, which I shall paste below. You & Sher, can change em any way you like to suit the needs & wants you may have in mind ok... DO IT WHICHEVER WAY YOU SEE FIT?
<paste>
1)... To teach: any and all wannabe hybridizers, who may come our way, so that they may know basic methods of pollination/seedling growing; and even, providing seed to these new members (Gratis) and who, are simply trying to learn how. Please note, that references to hostas has been purposefully left out; and therby, making this a wide open ball game, for all and any plant species, this membership may concern itself with?
2)... to encourage hybrid/species exchange within this membership; with "hybrid exchange" not being referenced as hostas exclusively, but any and all plant materials/species; and/or seed exchanges?
3)... Special emphasis and attention, will be given to those shade tolerant species, which are suitable companion plantings to hostas?
4)... We as a group, are supportive of anyone wishing to form a 'Shade Species Society' and/or we support any Hosta Society, which elects to change its Charter to encompass shade plant companions with hostas?

*** Sherryl is the fastest Gal in town, from an Educational/Learning Perspective, and she is a professional Teacher too, so I feel very comfortable, with having her on your wing, so to speak. My support & confidence in both of you, will be there whatever happens.. high road or low road.. whatever.. GO!

ps.. I'm testing a carbon copy here, and Bcc to myself, to test if there is a time delay factor in transmission.
