About Penstemon-L:

Penstemon-L was created by Eric Gouda and Louise Parsons to share and discuss information and experiences of the genus Penstemon for taxonomists and growers. It is like a virtual Penstemon Society. The most important thing is to exchange Penstemon information. As a guide, the discussions should focus on:

Penstemon Taxonomy and Identification
Discussion of types grown
Cultivation techniques of certain types
Penstemon events
Scientific, biological issues relating to Penstemon
Seeding and propagating techniques
Hybrids and hybridizing
Anything that would be of interest to Penstemon growers

The list may not be used for:

commercial activities (advertising)
personal conversation that is of no interest to other members
conversations that have nothing to do with Penstmon or growing plants
replying to other messages without removing irrelevant text (digest messages will become difficult to read)

Replying to messages - Important:

When replying to messages, please removing irrelevant text from the original message(s) repeated under your reply - if you do not, digest messages will become very difficult to read and you will inconvenience readers of your message with unnecessary repeated text
