David Douglas

The Scottish botanist, David Douglas, is rightfully regarded as a giant in his field. He explored my area (the Pacific Northwest of North America) between 1824 and 1827 on behalf of the Royal Horticultural Society. In addition to the Douglas Fir, he introduced the Sitka Spruce, Sugar Pine, Western White Pine, Ponderosa Pine, Lodgepole Pine, Monterey Pine, Grand Fir, Noble Fir and several other conifers that transformed the British landscape and timber industry, He also returned to Britain with Flowering currant, Salal, Penstemon, the California poppy and, of course, the Large-leafed lupin. A century later, George Russel, used this species to develop his famous Russel hybrid lupins which grace our gardens today in so many different colors.
