Thanks to all who responded to my query:
Nan, who gives courage to sound silly, Beverly who probably grows these
"kangaroos" to perfection, Tony and Moira who have seen them in the wild
(wish I could) and Joe and Cheryl who might be "nuts"! {G}
Wish me luck on the 28th that I don't mispronounce anything else! And I hope
to see any of you who are going to the symposium, "Gardening Under
Mediterranean Skies" that weekend at the Strybing Arboretum. I'm speaking

Nan's spectacular garden in north San Diego Co. Please say hello; I'd love
to put a face to all of your names that I know so well!
You all are "the best"! Jan
