wallflower

Perennial plant native to southern Europe, bearing fragrant yellow and orange flowers. The name is derived from the fact that the plant, when naturalized to a region, is often found growing out of the nooks and crannies in an old wall, or a cliff. The natural tendency for this plant to separate itself from the other denizens of a formal garden, and grow in isolated locations, doubtless led to the use of the term "wallflower" to describe an anti-social, or shy individual, who lingers in the background, against the wall, as it were, at social occasions.

The heady fragrance of wallflowers growing on the embankment wafted up to me.

intercourse

Our intercourse over lunch was less than pleasant, and we spent the rest of the day not speaking to each other.
