Kenneth for me is special. On my first visit to California in 2008, nearly 30-40 per cent of my plants were unidentified. In my second visit to California in 2009, when I came back to India, I had no pending identifications. Not only all plants of 2009 but all pending 2008 identifications were made by Kenneth while I was still in California. I have great appreciation for his knowledge of plants, especially the cultivated ones. We are extremely lucky to have him on our group.
