Sweet William

Dianthus barbatus or (Sweet William)

Many legends purport to explain how Sweet William acquired its name, but

none are verified. It is variously said to be named after Saint William of

York, William the Conqueror, or Prince William Augustus, Duke of

Cumberland. Another etymological derivation is that william is a corruption

of the French oillet, meaning "little eye". Sweet William is a favourite name

for lovelorn young men in English folkloric ballads.

Hi Museeb --

It is said that compositions involving even numbers of subjects don't please the eye. Well, your Sweet William certainly pleases my eye!

And your story just makes the experience allthe more sweeter!
