Etymology

Sulla is the Italian name for a flowering plant that English kept, much like the way English kept the name basil; farmers use it as food for animals and its pink flowers are full of nectar for making honey. So, when you hear sulla, think of the pink, bee-friendly plant used for animal food and honey.
