Flowers by Picture

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.

Do you or your neighbors have a bird feeder? Birds and squirrels spread the seeds around.

only got 7 but I got the Hibiscus, the least guessed

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.

actually, the dahlia is the least guessed

Stats change.

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.

I kept putting lilly for some reason, I hate myself sometimes. :P

Missed cherry, lavender and marigold. --- However I am glad the quiz was as simple as it was. I was afraid of it for a while because I don't really know flowers, let alone in English! - Good one :)

I'm probably wrong but that pansy looks more like a viola to me.

Pansies are violas.

I didn't know that. I was just throwing out flowers that I knew, hoping one would stick. And, to my surprise, when I typed "violet," up came "pansy." :D

Violets are also members of the Viola family. And to make it more confusing, there is a small flower in the Viola family which is marketed as a viola. That's probably the one to which Zola25 referred and I should have capitalized Viola in my response. Pansies have four petals pointing up and one pointing down, while violas have three petals pointing up and two pointing down. The photo is a pansy, but it is also a Viola, not a viola.

How did I miss rose?!?!?!?!?!

How do you make a picture quiz? Can only the quizmaster do it? Just wondering. Thank you

Yes, only the quizmaster may do it.

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. :)

I do believe it means "pee in the sun"

Just my two (euro-)cents, but Orchid might be a bit too general. This is a phalaenopsis (or moth orchid if you prefer).

There's always one that has to show off (in a roundabout way)

Lovely quiz :)

Enjoyed the quiz, but it made me sneeze like crazy.

Lol

Reminded me of a beautiful poem I once heard: Roses are red, violets are blue. Some poems rhyme, but this one doesn't.

Ooh, that reminds me of my favorite haiku!

Haikus are easy
But sometimes they don't make sense
Refrigerator

...because it actually contains in its lines the actual whole point of the haiku! It's brilliant, really.

The marigold sure looks like a mum to me. Hmm.

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).

11/15

Where is the Primrose??? There are so many Hunger Games Fans :3

could we have sakura for cherry blossom?

It worked for me. Maybe Quizmaster changed it after your comment.

Got all 20, mostly thanks to helping my mom in the garden when I was younger. Spent the last 2 minutes just trying to remember dahlia.

I'm with you Soph. If you want hard, try my quiz Plants of New Zealand.

Along with birds and fish, maybe the toughest quiz topic when English is not your first language, no matter how well you speak it.

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.

I missed half of them, and my grandmother was a gardener and grew AT LEAST three of the things I missed...
