I do have some exciting news to pass on and I will try and do it tomorrow. Our Lone Star newsletter just came out by email and all the terms judges use are in this issue. I hope I won't be in trouble for a very long post. Maybe I can divide it into seconds like:

Horticulture
Excellent
Good
Poor

He had some incredible cuttings of 4 different kinds of Aeschynanthus which were 6.50 but that didn't make sense when he had a greenhouse full of baskets that filled the greenhouse for 32.50 each. I didn't want a big basket this time of the year and didn't want to pay 6.50 for 2 cuttings to a 2" pot.
