| Margaret
Mee died in 1988 soon after the launch of the book In Search
of Flowers of the Amazon Forests. Early in the following
year many of the group who had achieved the successful search
made the journey again and were accompanied by her widower
Greville Mee on his first Amazon journey. A memorial plaque
was left on a tree and Greville scattered Margaret's ashes
in a quiet place. |
