This was to help him recover his speech, following a serious road accident and brain injury in the high Peruvian Andies, when he worked there as a volunteer. John also had an abiding interest in such plants and tried to pass it on to me, not I have to say with greatest success, though I look back on that time with affection.<br /><br />I have no idea whether the two namesakes are or were related. The one to whom the obituary and over a decade's association refers, did not I believe, have an interest in carnivorous plants so much as he did in herbivorous equines - besides of course the numerous carnivorous friends with whom he spent his time. <br /><br />They however appear to share a certain English eccentricity and talent that has made them both, distinctive and memorable.Veaterecosanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12641952897751927118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-863336524369281662.post-31545739030064416522017-06-05T13:11:17.691-07:002017-06-05T13:11:17.691-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Veaterecosanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12641952897751927118noreply@blogger.com
