Oxlips
"I know a bank where the wild thyme blows, where oxlips and the nodding violet grows, quite over canopied with luscious woodbine, with sweet musk-roses and with eglantine: there sleeps Titania sometime of the night; lulled in these flowers with dances and delight"
A midsummer Night's dream ---Shakespeare
I think of this play every year as the oxlips bloom in my wild flower bed.
