Flutterby™! : all around the bloomin' heather

Hmmm... I'd long known that "thyme" was an oft-used euphemism for virginity, back in the day, but here's a tale that gives the old song even more meaning...

Oh the Summer time is fading,

And the leaves are swiftly turning,

And the Wild Mountain Thyme,

Blows around the blooming Heather,

Will you go, lassie, go?

Apparently winter flowering heather has a similar effect to Viagra:

From the limited amount of information available, it is suggested the Viagra-analogue is best extracted by steeping the detached small flowers in neat alcohol. An infusion of about 20g of flowers in 100ml of fluid liberates the active principle. A quality full-strength vodka (at least 40 per cent) is also effective. Mr Bennell added: "There is some confusion whether oral consumption or topical application is more effective."
