#December 14, 1843
#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."

#December 14, 1843
#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.

Well darn, as no one has posted to the #LoudonWainwrightIII (hashtag?), I will.

Done

Oh yeah, my boy's named #Loudon

You?
