Specialty Gardening: Old-Fashioned Names for Flowers, 0 by PrimroseSue

In one of my winter reads, Old Time Gardens by Alice Morse Earle (1901), I've come across some wonderful old nicknames for flowers that I hadn't heard before.

Ever since I first heard of "gillyflowre" for stock - I think it was Celia Thaxter's book, I always delight in the discovery of new nicknames. Whoever came up with the idea of "Kiss-Me-Over-The-Garden-Gate" or "Johnny Jump-Up"? They're all great!

Here's a few I've learned in the book so far - I had to google them to find the flower they represent:

Ladies Delights - (wild) pansies
London Pride - saxifragia x urbium
Flower de Luce - Iris (purple, and yellow)
Old-fashioned (1901!), early, "Piny" - peony
Bridal Wreath - spirea

This one I can't find yet - anyone have a clue? - Peter's Wreath, or St. Peter's Wreath.

I'd love to hear the ones you all know!
