cow lily

— Bess amused herself the other day by making a large bouquet entirely of yellow flowers of different shades and varieties, and it looked like a city milliner's window in this present season of "tilleul," "old gold," and "saffron:" vivid coreopsis, with dark velvet centres; "butter-and-eggs," with spires of palest straw color and orange mingled; barberry blossoms in drooping sprays, buttercups with gold enamelled blossoms, "yellow daises,"^([sic]) a few late dandelions, the little "five-finger," and some yellow pond-lilies (they call them "cow-lilies" here).
