User:Wykenpippin

Wykenpippin is the name of an old cultivated variety of apple and a now renamed public house in Coventry, England, my hometown.

As a professional botanist I have always been interested in the interplay between art and science. My books have employed botanical art to describe the flowering plants found in different parts of the world. More recently I have published the hitherto undocumented botanical and horticultural themes used by Marcel Proust in his writing and letters.
