The swamps are pink with June.
The swamps are pink with June.
(F.31/J.22)
[1] heart:: the strength, fertility of a land (OED 21a). Orchis' heart:: one who owns a land suitable for Orchis.
[2] swamps, pink:: a hint on swamp-pink, wild honeysuckle. June:: swamp-pinks blossom in June. June-beetle is a possible answer, but swamps in its plural form makes swamp-pinks more appropriate.
But with June comes the most exquisite of our New England wild-flowers, the arethuta, or swamp-pink, ─ The Atlantic Monthly, Volume 5 (1860)
Swamp Pink . . . they are eagerly sought after, and form a conspicuous part of the decoration of the mantel-piece, in its season, the month of June. The color is commonly a fine pink. ─ New Book of Flowers (1866)
