red campion en · NOUN
Meanings
-
A biennial or perennial plant native to northern and central Europe, of species Silene dioica, with pink or red flowers.
Hedges, where the last of the red campion and honeysuckle grow, block the views of the landscape – the occasional gap shows a field of dry hay bales or cleared ground through which lilac teasels have sprung.
