Hi all,

Kelly is right about the limitations of the name "Pacific," but he is also
wrong.

The Pacific extends from Antarctica to Alaska, from British Columbia to
Korea, from South America to New Guinea. It is in actual fact very
inclusive, once we stop to think about it (which is what Jim Waddick's
suggest has made us all do!)

I think I quite like all the connotations of the name "Pacific Bulb Sociey."

Pacific.
