#January 12, 1778
#OTD William Herbert, British #Botanist & #Clergyman, is born.
William confused #Gardener-s after he split the Amaryllis genera into #Amaryllis & #Hippeastrum.
There is only one species in the Amaryllisllis genus - the #Belladonna.
The Hippeastrum genera has 90 species, including the big #Bulbs we pot up in the #Winter & commonly refer to as Amaryllis. But really, they are Hippeastrum - a name that doesn't roll off the tongue & has never caught on.

How DARE you. My years as an altar boy in the #CatholicChurch taught me something you should now learn: NEVER turn your back on a #clergyman in rut.

Anyone, in particular a #Clergyman but anyone!
Who'd celebrate, eulogize or lionize #EnochPowell?
Would do well to remember that aside from being a #racist
The man was a #SadoMasochistic #Paedophile & #Mysoginist
Survivors of #Kincora and indeed #MI5 all have stories to tell
