You truly *aren't* from here are you? *G* 'Yreka' is pronounced just how it looks: Y(like the letter 'Y') -ree-ka. http://www.yrekachamber.com/ Not to be confused with the town of 'Eureka' which is on the coast. http://www.eurekawebs.com/ and named after Archimedes' exclaimation after discovering his Principle http://www.colchsfc.ac.uk/maths/archimedes.htm (which is also the California State motto)http://www.library.ca.gov/history/ca....cfm#Heading11 See Yahoo Maps (hope these work, if not just plug 'map Yreka California in the Google search engine): Yreka http://maps.yahoo.com/maps_result?cs...96097&ds =n&n ame=&desc=&ed=T_dglep_0Trcmt1nvziBtHch5MJk0PMz3skc FGnstXlz35jUxzlFRyPm.1a7xr idaPq_tHF_7EO4Rm8kUQ91XlAl9w--&BFClick=&BFKey=&zoomin=yes&resize=s&mag=3 Eureka http://maps.yahoo.com/maps_result?cs...=95501&d s=n& name=&desc=&ed=rzudmup_0Tq3iTMaKtgsme8l5O53akgtjqw bAzacL8hgcWDqpZwTfs_rlMsTp cN4IC.0qku5CzbuAW0lvSwgeREo0g--&BFClick=&BFKey=&zoomin=yes&resize=s&mag=3 K Barrett "Wendy" wrote in message news:lgIAb.71689$m24.25108@fed1read02... *G* You-reka!

Pee Oh kah Pee-O-kerr is how _I_ say it. But evidently I can't even pronounce my own name right (if telemarketers are any indication). I think that is how I've heard people who actually breed with that plant say it. Not that they necessarily are right either. Going to San Francisco today. I wonder how to pronounce it. Actually I've always wondered at how to pronounce Yreka. Rob -- Rob's Rules: http://www.msu.edu/~halgren 1) There is always room for one more orchid 2) There is always room for two more orchids 2a. See rule 1 3) When one has insufficient credit to purchase more orchids, obtain more credit |
