The misguided cultivation of the Jealopus
This painting was the last work of the botanical painter Seymour Bull who was Artist in Residence at Kew Gardens in late Victorian times.
His paintbrushes and clothes including his unmentionables were discovered discarded on the ground next to the easel holding this painting. This caused great consternation as it was assumed he had taken leave of his senses as artistic types often do and was shamelessly cavorting naked somewhere in the grounds at Kew.
As this was before nudity was invented the police were called and a search for this bohemian miscreant was soon underway.
However Seymour Bull was never to be seen again.
We now know that this gentleman was the very first victim of the vile Jealopus and that his body had in fact been completely digested by the loathsome plant/animal hybrid.
At the time though nobody foresaw the misery that the scientists at Kew Gardens were to unknowingly inflict on the world with their ill advised experimentations on the Jealopus.
