| Viola tricolor, known as Heart's Ease |
"Yet marked I where the bolt of Cupid fell: It fell upon a little western flower, Before milk-white, now purple with loves wound, And maidens call it love-in-idleness ... The juice of it on sleeping eyelids laid Will make a man or woman madly doat Upon the next live creature that it sees."
Shakespeare: Midsummer Night's Dream, ii. 1.
