Any flower can be a weed if it's growing where you don't want it to be!

Quizmaster can there be a little leeway on the spelling of Hydrangea please? I tried several endings but would never have got the answer even though I know the plant. Thank you

Right. I somehow had a cornstalk growing in my flowerbed. I don't grow corn nor do I know anyone who does. I wouldn't call corn a weed, but in that case, it was.

Why did I only remember the Japanese name for Dandilion? (Popotan) and my first guess at Cherry Blossom was also the Japanese and accepted alternative of Sakura Blossom/Tree. At least I did get that one.

Only missed Hydrangea and Dahlia, but I have seen both before. And a dandelion is a wild flower that just happens to be attached to a weed. Not to be scientific or anything.

Saying "weed" isn't scientific in the slightest. It's a flower, like it or not.

Some of these are rather difficult if your native language isn't English. Maybe accept lion's tooth for dandelion?

Yeah, but do you know that the french name is rather "pissenlit" than" Dent-de-lion" ? No, I won't explain the meaning of the former name ^^.

Dandelions are supposed to be diuretics and good for kidney ailments, so it makes perfect sense. :)

Apparently the english language has pissabed and piss-the-bed for dandelion, not sure how prevalent it still is. Wasnt aware french had the word piss(er). And I wanted to say we (dutch) have the word pissebed meaning pillbug, but I found out a century ago we used, like the english and french, that word for dandelion aswell, and apparently it might still be used in some southern dialects.

It is called that for its diuretic properties.

Well you're lucky I didn't see that reply (which was already late btw). Seven years later, I would be stupid to be sensitive about that, wouldn't I?

So, I will just say that orchids are a very large family of plants, with about 30k species. Call it show off if you want, I know I was right, and I would make the same comment exactly eight years later. Furthermore, my parents were fond of ornamental orchids and always called those phalaenopsis, it's a famous genus of them, or at least it is here in Belgium...

The marigold sure looks like a mum to me. Hmm.
+1
Level 55
Mar 21, 2017
Mums have a lot more petals, all the way to the center, and the petals are usually more teardrop-shaped with smooth edges (yes, I know there are exceptions, like spider mums). Marigolds have that wavy look to their petals, and are a more consistent width throughout. The leaves in the background are definitely distinctively marigold leaves too--they kind of have a fern-like appearance. (I worked in a flower shop :D).

There are a couple groups of flowers commonly called "marigolds". The one I'm familiar with is the French marigold (whose name is a bit of a misnomer, it is native to Mexico and Guatemala). The one pictured here is the pot marigold, which is probably native to Europe. At least where I live in Indiana, I see much more of the French marigold, and I can't recall ever seeing a pot marigold.

Um, that marigold looks absolutely nothing like what I consider a marigold. And after some of the comments above, I looked up French marigold, and I'm still not seeing it. It looks like a small gerbera daisy to me.

Also, anemone should work for poppy.

I am not sure why this puzzle is considered "hard." I got all but one the first time. The one I missed was dandelion. The way the picture was sized it looked like a zinnia to my.

The Marigold depicted in your quiz is definitely not a Marigold. Marigolds are multi-petaled and the leaves are completely different. The picture shown looks more like an African Daisy.

It definitely was a marigold. That said, I agree that the particular cultivar pictured was not a typical marigold that people are used to. So I changed the image.

Reading through and agreeing with all the comments about the marigold pic - just not seeing this as a marigold. (Tried zinnia - only one I missed.) Then I run across this comment that the image has already been changed 2 years ago. Sorry, Quizmaster, but still doesn't look like any marigold I've ever seen.

I liked your comment. I wonder if you would have prefered Quizmaster's first picture to the current one. When I moved from TX, the Robins and the Blackwidow spiders were very different. I had difficulty believing they were Robins and Blackwidows. --- I guess that capitalists make profitable versions of fruits ( e. g. apples ) and greenhouse flowers. --- I absolutely rely on Quizmaster's pictures of plants ( e. g. trees ) and animals ( e. g. cat and dog breeds ). I find they are often the best on the www.

That's not a marigold. The leaves don't match a marigold's. It's most likely a zinnia. I grow them every summer. The leaves give it away.

It is a calendula flower which is apparently commonly known as a marigold (but not where I live). So it is still legit. Fortunately for me calendula was accepted.

There's an ornamental dahlia plot at a garden in Tacoma. People compete (I think?) to breed their own dahlia into steadily crazier shapes and colors. Mind-blowing that any two of the flowers there are the same kind of flower. They come in every color under the sun, and shapes that range from perfect spheres to wild fireworks to wide, flat discs. Neat place.

wow the average score is low!! only ten! I guess people on this site know obscure cities better than flowers!

I only missed marygold, couldn't think of the english name, but it must have been in the back of my mind somewhere, because I was focussing on something starting with m(a). I think I tried mayflower and goldflower, they come kind of close.
