Make them think you arent so bad. Maybe theyll endorse you in some way, and theyll try to draw you in to sell your soul to them.

John Templeton (1766-1825), a Belfast man, is often called The Father of Irish Botany.
His famous discovery Rosa x hibernica (Templeton's Rose) was found closer to home, at Holywood-it survives in the #Belfast Botanic Gardens, though not in the wild. See more detail in Alt text.
