[SpaceAgeRobin] The SAGE article

Good news!
 
The "Getting Serious about Space Age Genetics" article that sets for the first, bare-bones, look at the SAGE plan is IN THE APRIL ISSUE.
 
I received a complimentary advance copy of the April Bulletin this morning from Bruce Filardi, and the issue is jam packed with useful, informative articles, including ours about the project.  I am sure it will stir up additional interest and certainly sets forth the Robin and the fact that there are a group of folks who take SA's very seriously and think them worthy of a lot of study about the "whys and wherefores" of the type.
 
There will be an additional, partly in fun and tongue-in-cheek article titled "Why Doesn't My FAT FLOUNCY Look Like Yours?"  No--this isn't a near-pornographic piece.  It is about SAs--and OTHER IRISES--that vary, especially using the point of view of a judge encountering specimens on the bench at shows.
 
ALL bearded (and probably non-bearded) irises vary greatly depending upon light, fertility, water, climate, pH, and God alone knows what else.  I go on to explore some of the "why's" and center in on the widely varying growth patterns and needs of the ancestral varieties of all our modern bearded hybrids.  They come from all sorts of climates demanding all sorts of different genetic adjustments to adapt.
 
We've taken those widely varied source materials and put them into the same kettle and stirred.  The amazing thing is that most varieties thrive as widely as they do!
 
So anyway--there's more in the SA article pipeline than just this April BAIS article. 
 
Anyone else want to try your had at publishing SA articles?
