LAVENDER. 
Perdita . . . . Here’s flowers for you; 
Hot lavender, 
A Winter’s Tale, Act iv. Scene 3. 
PINK. 
Mercutio. ... I am the very pink of courtesy. 
Romeo. Pink for flower. 
Mercutio. Right. 
Romeo and Juliet, Act \i. Scene 4. 
GILLYVORS (Wallflower). 
Perdita. . . . the fairest flowers o’ the season, 
Are our carnations, and streak’d gillyvors, 
Which some call nature’s bastards : of that kind 
Our rustic garden’s barren; and I care not 
To get slips of them. 
Polixenes. Then make your garden rich in gillyvors, 
And do not call them bastards. 
A Winter’s Tale, Act iv. Scene 3. 
HOLY THISTLE. 
Beatrice. By my troth, I am sick. 
Margaret. Get you some of this distilled Carduus 
Benedictus, and lay it to your heart; it is the only 
thing for a qualm.
