#January 2, 1735
#OTD Carl #Linnaeus, the Father of Taxonomy, visits Sara Lisa #Morraea, in full #Lapp #Costume.
By the end of January, his friends bet #Bottles of #Wine that a #Baptism was in Carl's future - though #Babies would have to wait.
Sara Lisa's #Docter #Father told Carl to get established before the #Marriage. He did. Carl & Sara Lisa married in the summer of 1739.
14 years later, Linnaeus' #Masterpiece #SpeciesPlantarum changed #Plant #Taxonomy #Forever.
