| Rural roadside verges and small, family-owned farms remain the only places left for species such as the crested cow-wheat, spiked rampion and man orchid to thrive. |
| And in the kitchen-garden at Castlewood no rampion would she allow while she lived. |
| Hence, in ancient dream-books, a dream in which the rampion is seen is interpreted as a sure sign of an impending quarrel. |
| This went on for days, and as she knew she could not get the rampion, she pined away, and grew pale and miserable. |
| The roots turned out to be a kind of rampion — a radishy-tasting taproot — which Germans call Rapunzel and my summer neighbors in Umbria, who crave them, too, call raponzolo. |
| The rampion is a biennial plant, indigenous to the south of Europe, and occasionally found in a wild state in England. |
