Crossword-Solution: HIERACIUM 9 letters, 1 clue 🏆 scrabble score: 16

One of the unwritten stories which I most regret is "Grim the Collier"; this was to have been a romance of the Black Country of coal-mines, in which she was born, and the title was chosen from the description of a flower in a copy of Gerarde's _Herbal_, given to her by Miss Sargant:-- _Hieracium hortense latifolium, sine Pilosella maior_, Golden Mouseeare, or Grim the Colliar.

Among the common wild flowers of the East that take on unexpected new beauty when transferred to the rock garden are the celandine (_Chelidonium majus_), strawberry (_Fragaria Virginica_), cranesbill (_Geranium maculatum_), toadflax (_Linaria vulgaris_), orange hawkweed (_Hieracium auranticum_), herb Robert (_Geranium Robertianum_), coltsfoot (_Tussilago Farfara_), Solomon's seal (_Polygonatum biflorum_), foam flower (_Tiarella cordifolia_), bloodroot (_Sanguinaria Canadensis_), and some of the violets.
