BLAZING THE TRAIL
6 March, National Library of Scotland at Kelvin Hall, Glasgow – free
Film, poetry & music to celebrate the adventurous life of Isobel Wylie Hutchison (1889–1982) – #explorer, #botanist, #writer, & #artist, & said to be the first #Scottish woman to ever set foot on #Greenland
A fierce #Conservationist, Lester believed living w/ plants led to understanding. She was often compared to the incredible #PlantExplorer David Douglas, but unlike Douglas, who died young, Lester lived to be 100.
She wrote,
"I [approach] plants from the # Gardener's, not the scientist's, standpoint...
I [write] from my own notes, taken on the spot, of the things the #Plants have told me in personal interviews."
There's only one species in the original Amaryllisllis genus - the #Belladonna.
The Hippeastrum genera has 90 species, including the big #Bulbs we pot up in the #Winter & refer to as Amaryllis. But really, they are Hippeastrum - a name that doesn't roll off the tongue & has never caught on.
