Dear Friends, Just FYI... SIGNA ( Species iris Group of North America, but actually International) recently introduced an electronic membership at 1/2 the regular cost*. This E-membership includes all the benefits except printed and mailed materials. They have yet to issue a newsletter since this option has been available so.... tune in later. If this interests anybody, take a look at http://signa.org/index.pl?Membership Best Jim W. ps The 2009 Seed Exchange will be available in about a month or less. * even less - almost 1/3 the cost for International subscribers. -- Dr. James W.
