Appreciate reading about Thomas Drummond - I admire him as I have the naturalist John Bartram who traveled throughout the southeastern U.S. (there was an article in Smithsonian about his journeys in FL). They were passionate about nature and left an abundance of records of their discoveries.
Katie, I think there were a number of these gentleman explorers/scientists in their day. So grateful that, as you said, they left records of their passions and discoveries for us.
Plus, I think it's super cool to have a genus named after you. More lasting than a lot of types of fame we reach for.
Thank you. There's a booklet for sale at the Guild with all the poems and a page of history, that includes Drummond staying up late into the night, documenting specimens.

He died of unknown causes and documented everything he could find.
It'd be hard to bear witness to all those tiny wildflowers, yeah?
What a lovely piece this is.
