Just a simple question. Does anyone know the correct pronunciation of
"Peoker" as in Phal Golden Peoker?

I've wondered too, but was afraid to ask. ;-)

At first I thought of the simple answer could be :-
Pee-O-kerr
Then I thought of the pronunciation of the word "people"
Pee-Kerr
I don't know but this is the way I would pronounce it with my SA accent.

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.

'Yreka' is pronounced just how it looks: Y(like the letter 'Y') -ree-ka.

I have family up in New York, and friends in CT. They got hammered. Down
heah in Flahda (well, this thread did start out about pronounciation), we
took the Vandas in last night because it was going down into the 40's. Poor
us, huh? Everone's back outside.

Sorry to disappoint you all, but of course Eureka and Yreka were named after
me! ;-)

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