Gillyflower slipped and leaved (Period)

The gillyflower is a modest flower, the ancestor of the modern carnation; it was prized in period for its use in garlands.  As an heraldic charge, it is found in the arms of Pace, Bishop of Bangor, d.1533 [Parker 286].  The gillyflower is drawn in a stylized heraldic form; its “proper” coloration is gules, slipped vert.  The illustration shows a gillyflower slipped and leaved.
