Right or wrong, I've always said "Pee-Oh-ker," and agree about the
golden...wha??? part.

I got a little bit lost in this thread. Did anybody ever say how to
pronounce "Peoker"? I have always wondered what the word means to the
person (Brother's Nursery) who registered it and why it was called
"Golden"
Peoker in the first place because every example I have ever seen of this
grex is white with purple spots.

That sounds more like something they might say down towards the city.


Steve in upstate NY. Way, way upstate.
