The grassy track, so gay with scabious and bedstraw, was snow-white at the bottom of its ruts.

She thought only of him as she ran up the hill over the minute starry carpet of mountain bedstraw.

Even the common names of wildflowers -stitchwort, lady's bedstraw, blue fleabane, feverfew -havean inescapable enchantment about them.

Lady's bedstraw was in high flower until very recently and I eventually found some growing near the pavement on someone's lawn.

The harebells floated no more, the discs of the scabious were shrivelled husks; ladies' bedstraw was straw indeed, but not for ladies' uses.
