When the Great Larkspur and the Monkshood grow together, 

 they may be distinguished at any distance by the much brighter 

 blue of the Larkspur. 



Honeysuckles now begin to ornament the hedges in abundance, 

 and to cover our grottoes, summer houses, porticoes, and other rus- 

 tic buildings, with their well known and delightful flowers. 



The common English Honeysuckle is called Woodbinde or 

 Woodbine : 



So doth the Woodbine the sweet Honeysuckle 

 Gently entwist. 



And tho' that were chapelets on their hede 

 Of fresh Wodebind be such as never were 



To love untrue in word, in thought, ne dede. 

 But ay stedfast, ne for plesaunce ne fere, 

 Tho' that they shudde their hertis all to tere, 



Wou'd never flit, but evir were stedfast 



Till that ther livis there assunder brast. 



Chaucer,
