Below are some of the information from a couple of the other signs in this garden:
"There's rosemary, that's for remembrance; pray
You love remember, and there is pansies, that's for thoughts.
There's fennel for you, and columbines: there's rue for you; and here's some for me: we may cal it herb-grace o'Sundays: O you must wear your rue with a difference. There's a daisy: I would give you some violets, but they withered al when my father died: they say he made a good end.
--Hamlet
Act 4, Scene 5."
***************************
"When daisies pied and violets blue,
And lady-smocks all silver-white,
And cuckoo-buds of yellow hue
Do paint the meadows with delight,
The cuckoo then, on every tree,
Mocks married me.
--Love's Labours Lost
Act 5, Scene 2"
***************************
"Here's flowers for you;
Hot lavender, mints, savoury, marjoram;
the marigold, that goes to bed wi' the sun
And with him rises weeping: these are flowers
Of middle summer, and I think they are given
To men of middle age.
--The Winter's Tale
Act 4, Scene 4"
