Mmm, gartalion. Under the heraldic spelling - Gartalyan - it is the emblem of the House of the Fallen Heart. Also, of course, the seed-heads yield an oil that makes one part in five of the Perfume of All Desire. Lovesick swains wear its blossoms secretly in pouches next their heart on May Day and for a sennight thereafter: not that this will in any way influence their luck in love, it's just a helpless gesture, a private and intimate confession.
