All the RGO readers,

Al would be too modest even to mention this to you but he did good at the
NCOS show this weekend. Among the AOS awards he received for his really
great looking plants, his Renanthera was the best in show. It glows in the
dark when we turn off the lights! It was so huge I really felt sorry for
the judges who had to count the flowers for the cultural award he received.
I believe he got at least one other AOS award.

To top it off the large display that Al spent Friday working to build with
his team was also best in show.

All the hardware and the ribbons are really distracting.

If you're in the DC area you should come by tomorrow or Monday and see his
work.

Good Growing,
Gene

Well done Al! And thanks for "Ratting him out" Gene, you are right he
would never mention it himself.
