As I mentioned, there are many who have mailed me indicating an interest in
such a society. I have been a long-time member of the American Hosta Society.
I must say that I am now finding the attention spent on that genus as the BEST
shade tolerant plant is becoming somewhat overdone and that there are many
equally lovely genera
that are overlooked. Our purpose is to inform the public about OTHER genera.

Look forward to your comments and suggestions.
