Mulford B. Foster
Mulford Bateman Foster (December 25, 1888 – August 28, 1978〔Foster Family Bible〕) was a botanist known by many as the "Father of the Bromeliad" as he was instrumental in the discovery and introduction of many new species of Bromeliad to the United States. He also devoted his life to hybridizing and contributed widely to the knowledge of the plant species.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Bromeliad Society of San Francisco Newsletter October 2004 )〕〔Racine, Diane "Mulford Bateman Foster: Rediscovering The Father of the Bromeliad and his Lost Art", Reflections, Vol 7, No. 2, Spring 2009, p14-16〕〔Numerous memorial accounts of Mulford from Bromeliad Society/Journals recounting his achievements and status as "Father of the Bromeliad", held by family members, 1978〕 He was a man of many talents including naturalist, explorer, writer, photographer, artist, horticulturist and a well-respected landscape architect in Florida. Numerous bromeliad plants found today are named after various Foster family members and the genus Fosterella is named in honor of his work.〔Palmer E H (1964) Nomenclature The Bromeliad Society Bulletin v XIV (3), May–June 1964, pp59-61〕
==Early life==
He was born in Elmer, New Jersey to Samuel Preston Foster, Editor of the Elmer Times and Fannie Bateman a housewife with a green thumb and artistic leanings. He grew up exploring the woods around his New Jersey home under the guidance of his mother. With her inspiration, Mulford grew up making his own small gardens with the wild plants that he had gathered. He eventually started collecting snakes, lizards and other reptiles whenever he could. He attended school and graduated in 1905 as salutatorian from Elmer High School spending his free time out of doors.〔Personal interviews with Foster family members/taken from personal diaries of Mulford and Racine Foster which includes interpretations of all art work, dates of travel to Europe and South America, memories of historical event〕〔Spencer, Michael.
