Lindley had, it seems, devoted parents (he was born the son of a knowledgeable but not commercially successful Norfolk nurseryman), and, like the great eighteenth-century Swedish naturalist, Carl Linnaeus, with whom Stearn draws many parallels, he had plenty of self-esteem and selfconfidence.
The Lindley Library of the Royal Horticultural Society is probably the only point of contact that most present-day gardeners have with John Lindley, for the latter's collection of 1,300 volumes was purchased after his death to form the basis of the present superb library.
John Lindley is honoured nowadays as the foremost British orchidologist of the 19th century, indeed by some as "the father of orchidology".
