Used in print (Helen Hooven Santmyer, "There Were Fences"...)Side fences were hidden beneath lilacs and hundred_leaf roses ; front fences were covered with Virginia_creeper or trumpet_vines or honeysuckle . Other flowers we might gather as we pleased : myrtle and white_violets from beneath the lilacs ; the lilacs themselves , that bloomed so prodigally but for_the_most_part beyond our reach ; snowballs ; hollyhock blossoms that , turned upside_down , make pink petticoated ladies ; and the little , dark_blue larkspur that scattered its seed everywhere .
