Seeds of Blood and Beauty

Each chapter is a new explorer/botanist/doctor. They follow on from one another, or the timelines do. So it is good to see the Scottish influence on Great Britian and these discoveries. Also the societies and gardens in England. Each chapter is a snapshot of a life, an adventure. Easy and enjoyable read, but i think I prefer the books dedicated to one person to get to know them better.
