Meaning of "Yarrow"

[Shanon Fernald]

Well, the Shrike to Severn tie-in is definitely Hyperion because Severn was the name of one of the characters from the book.

Yarrow seems to be popular with witches: a bit of black magic, maybe!

Now if I'm not mistaken, wasn't there a "Yarrow" tree or something in the book too? Is that the relation between these two release names? Sorry if I am totally off-base here, but in the back of my mind this has been driving me crazy.

Yeah, I'd been looking for a Simmons' tie-in too, but don't have a copy
of Hyperion handy. :-P However, Severn was the beta leading up to Yarrow,
so I'd think the connection needs to be there.

The most promising tie-in I've found so far is a pair of chracters from the
sci-fi comic Transmetropolitan (http://giaever.com/op/transmet/): Charron
Yarrow and Vita Severn. This seems like a pretty good connection, although
not knowing much about the comic, I'm not sure how related the characters
are (if at all).
