stitchwort

1 Yes, we were walking through stitchwort, wild garlic, campion, blue bells and buttercups.

2 The hedgerows had burst into tender green, and the banks were spangled with stitchwort and celandine stars.

3 Nor could that word of Tennyson be properly used of any pure white flower—the stitchwort for instance; nor of any white and yellow flower like the Marguerite.

4 “Yes, it is a couple of months, say, later than the great stitchwort.”

5 Turning his horse he commenced searching for the flower amid that sea of grass, and the yellow blossoms of cinquefoil, and stitchwort, and water-lilies.

6 "And my mother told me it was stitchwort."

7 Here is blue speedwell and the delicately pencilled stitchwort with its pure snow-white blossoms and delicate green leaves.

8 The thorn-trees were all in bloom, and the banks were covered with the white stitchwort and blue speedwell.

9 Later on in the season you will find myriads of its smaller relative, the lesser stitchwort.

10 And then again they struck into a by-lane with tall hedges, the banks underneath which were bright with stitchwort and speedwell and white dead-nettle.

11 Its name, stitchwort, no doubt alludes to the plant's supposed virtue in cases of "stitches" in the side.

14 On May 1 a stitchwort was in flower, a plant that marks the period distinctly.

15 Give me the old road, the same flowers—they were only stitchwort—the old succession of days and garland, ever weaving into it fresh wild-flowers from far and near.

16 The sky was blue, the hedges were budding with pure light-green above, and resplendent with rosy campion and white spangles of stitchwort below.

17 They started, but presently they came to high banks that showed such masses of bluebells, ragged Robin, great stitchwort and the like that Belinda was not to be restrained.

18 Six kinds of clovers and vetches; and besides, dandelion, and rattle, and oxeye, and sorrel, and plantain, and buttercup, and a little stitchwort, and pignut, and mouse-ear hawkweed, too, which nobody wants.

19 Coming out from the stitchwort and grasses, the spiders often ran over his shining dark brown surface, something the colour of glazed earthenware.
