Talk:stock-gillyflower

stock alone

Chambers 1908 defines stock as "a favourite garden-flower" (not very helpful! — we do have to seem the correct flower sense at stock, however), and notes "originally called stock-gillyflower, to distinguish it from the stemless clove-pink, called the gillyflower". Equinox ◑ 12:19, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
