Frank Kingdon-Ward the Last of the Great Plant Hunters.

Charles Lyte.

Frank Kingdon-Ward combined botany with the exploration of the wild mountain regions of North Burma, China and Tibet. Many well known garden plants were found and introduced by him, most famously the Tibetan blue poppy, Meconopsis betonicifolia, as well as many beautiful lilies and fine rhododendrons. This is his story.
