HelpRe: Return and Chicory
in reply to a message by pangurban
Return sounds either old and Puritan or like a new, miscellaneous word name to me. I was curious about how much further back the family had been using it, beyond the three generations that I saw (on Wikipedia; it's not like I was really researching this!).
I felt similarly about Chicory--"not totally awful"--but it's grown on me. Not my thing exactly, but I think it's a cute and quirky alternative if you wanted a floral alternative that wasn't Bryony, Willow, etc.
