The story of a man who transformed ornamental horticulture in America. In this historically accurate biography, Paul Butler paints a vivid picture of the life and times of Theodore Mead. As a young man he hunted butterflies in Colorado, discovering dozens of new species. Later, as a Florida citrus and tropical plant grower, he amassed a huge collection of orchids and imported ornamental plants from all over the world, cross-breeding them to produce new varieties. Life was anything but easy as a pioneering settler in Florida. He faced bouts of malaria, the harrowing loss of his only daughter to scarlet fever, the catastrophic financial damage of the great citrus freeze of 1894/95, and the brutal excesses of the Medfly crisis of 1929/30.Theodore Mead helped keep Florida a “Land of Flowers," and was one of America’s most distinguished entomologists and horticulturists. But despite this success, a significant part of his life remained unfulfilled. Orchids & Butterflies is ultimately the story of one man’s search for meaning in life. | Orchids and Butterflies by Paul Butler, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
