René Rapin eloquently explained the origin and habit of the cyclamen, a flower used to signify diffendence and distrust in the language of flowers:

Cyclamens, which we now with pleasure know,
To Gredian gardens their extraction owe,
One species is with robes of silver born,
The gen’rous scarlet by another worn,
And both the spring with early pride adorn.
Corsu and Coritus with both abound,
And much of each in shady Zacynth found,
Thousands in summer shine with either dye,
And in autumnal months they multiply.
