Thanks to all for their kind words. I am happy to share the little I know; I always benefit by learning additional information from you all as feedback. One of these days I hope to travel to India. In the meantime, at least we have plants in common!
Regards-- Ken. ________________________________ From: Gurcharan Singh <[email protected]> To: tanay bose <[email protected]> Cc: J.M.

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. -- Dr. Gurcharan Singh Retired Associate Professor SGTB Khalsa College, University of Delhi, Delhi-110007 Res: 932 Anand Kunj, Vikas Puri, New Delhi-110018.
