there is no central register of where list members come from. I know
from anecdotal evidence that we have members in the USA, Canada, most
Australian states, France, Belgium, Germany, the UK, and I think
Singapore. I apologise if I've missed anyone (please feel free to tell
the list - that way your country of residence will be available via
archive search as a point of contact, not a bad thing if you don't mind
being emailed by people interested in Rainbows).
That said, I think I can safely guess that Liz is from somewhere where
(unlike Oz) the people say 'not worth a dang' (as opposed to the many
colourful and not-so-polite variants used here) :)
Liz: not too many boesemani worth a dang here in Oz either - although
there are some really wonderful strains kept going by the dedicated few
(one of whom may wish to comment).
Best regards, Andrew
