>I wonder how many PBS members there are in New Zealand. Also how many >there are in Australia. Dear Ina and Shelley, Jane McGary, the PBS Membership Director can tell you specifics. My out of date info says there's a single member from New Zealand and 12 from Australia, but do not quote me. And I think Jane McGary is off to Chile and may not be available for a bit. If you were a member of PBS, in the last Issue of 'The Bulb Garden' I pointed out that 15 % of the PBS membership is outside the US and represents at least 13 countries and all continents (except Antarctica). About 60% of the members of the paid org are from the US Pacific Coast and 25% from the rest of the US. The Paid members also receive a biennial directory with names, addresses and email to encourage contact between members. The paid PBS membership is the only support for this list. Membership has numerous benefits. This free discussion list has different composition from the paid membership. Specific questions can be directed to Mary Sue Ittner as our director and web master.
