Moved by some sudden instinct which he did not attempt to explain to himself, Gwent decided to venture on a little paternal advice. "Now don't you fly off in a rage at what I'm going to say," he began, slowly "You're only a child to me so I'm just taking the liberty of talking to you as a child.
These blossoms form the letters and words, GWENNEN GWENT, or "The Bee of Gwent," Gwent being the ancient name of that portion of Glamorgan.
