Joseph Dalton Hooker

So I did a really deep dive into the history of how these nine species came to be grown in our gardens across here in Britain, from Far East coast of China, all these crazy places, you know, the Himalayas.

And the people that were involved, and they're all names that we've all heard of, George Forrest, um, Joseph Hooker, all these people are involved, and I just found it really fascinating.

So I did a good deep dive into that.

So I talk a lot about that when I do, uh, tours of the irises.
