Spannende Überlegungen, bin gespannt wie sich das entwickelt und ob es hier finanzielle Unterstützung für die Idee von #Loudon geben wird.
Nur zur Erinnerung, er bekam damals die öffentliche Stelle nicht. Warum auch immer.

#OTD John Claudius #Loudon, #Scottish #Botanist & #Writer died.He wrote the #Duke of #Wellington about his #Waterloo #Beeches - #Trees #Planted after the #Battle.
But the Duke #Misread the #Letter.
He thought the #Note was from the #BishopOfLondon (not Loudon) regarding his #Breeches or #Pants - not his Beeches.The Duke wrote back:
"My servant will show you SO many pairs of breeches, but WHY you wish to inspect those I wore at Waterloo is quite beyond [my] comprehension." -

#OTD John Claudius #Loudon, #Scottish #Botanist & #Writer died.John's #LoveStory w/ his wife, Jane, started like this: After arranging to meet Henry Colburn, the man who wrote "The #Mummy," he discovered Jane was really Henry.
Later on, rheumatic fever ravaged his body. Surgeons found him in his #Garden the day they #Amputated his right arm.
John died dictating a book for young #Gardeners. Around midnight, he collapsed into Jane's arms. She completed the #Book on her own.
