kiss-me-quick

Victorian beach bonnet

Kiss-me-quick is a name for various small wildflowers, particularly those with delicate petals that seem to invite close attention.

The term also applies to a style of bonnet or cap worn tilted forward, popular in the Victorian era, supposedly designed to encourage suitors to lean in.

As an adjective, kiss-me-quick describes something hasty or impulsive: a kiss-me-quick romance.
