What have Dr Leonhart Fuchs, Bernard McMahon and the Reverend Adam Buddle got in common?
And as an extra question, did you know it, deduce it, Google it or ask your wife/husband?
(My sister texted me a couple of minutes after I posted this, making it look far too easy.)

I give up!
All will be revealed later…
I don’t read the same articles as Donnalee; Jackie doesn’t know; and I can’t be bothered to Google it – in other words, I dunno.
Aha! Always nice to get one over on a setter of cryptic crosswords. I thought Jackie might get it. 🙂
I think they played in the 1954 FA cup final!
It was a long shot. Sadly it fell a little short of being correct, though I now know more about the 1954 Cup Final than I did ten minutes ago. Well, I had to check the names in case you were right…
The common factor is that they are all unknown to me in my regrettable state of ignorance.
Ask me a question about moss if you want to see regrettable ignorance.
Plants? – And to answer the second question: I had never heard of ANY of them and had to Google. I saw botany, herbalist, and horticulture in the write-ups.
Plants is good. 🙂 All will be revealed shortly…
Ah, I just read the answer. Brilliant!
They seem like an interesting lot.
You might already have my answer, but I can’t see it, so here we go again.
Two of them were botanists and studied plants. The second one made a film about plants?
I used Google and Wikipedia, too.
You’re keeping me interested and curious, when do we get the official answer?
Thanks
Caroline
Yes, I got the other answer – you’re in the right area – I’ll give the answer after a few more people have tried. 🙂
Two of them were botanists or studied plants, but the third…
Did he make a film about plants…?
I did have a little help from Google and Wikipedia.
I do look forward to the answer. 🙂 You’re keeping me intrigued.
You’re in the right area with plants… 🙂
They were all mentioned in some written material somewhere which I have seen recently, and beyond that I have no clue, and that reply came from my own head.
Not the answer I was expecting, but definitely not wrong. 🙂
And today that is the best I can hope for–
It could have been worse. 🙂
