This is a new twist on a quiz. Instead of me making lots of questions with multiple choice answers, you can guess what this is. By “this,” I mean the red and white thing surrounded by greenery. If you can’t guess that, then try to identify anything you can in this photo.
I cut this out of a larger photo which I will post after you have all made your guesses. I did not expect to find this in my garden. I was however, delighted to see it.
You know that the setting is a garden. Can you identify any of the plants? Can you tell the flowers from the weeds? Did some foreign object fall into this garden scene? If so, what might that be? Could it be edible? How good of a botanist or detective are you? I’m curious to see what you will discover. Please put all your guesses or any other thoughts into the comments below. This is just for fun.
No idea.. so what are those?
The thing that looks like a peppermint candy is a nigella seed pod.
Looks like that they are spikey.. anyway, can it be eaten?
I think they have some use, but I can’t remember if they are edible. I am so tired right now I can hardly remember my name.
Ok maybe next time after you rest you will remember, take your time, we are not in a hurry. ?
Happy new year and nice post
A lot many surprise questions indeed
And you can read the guesses people made below.
I need more surprised questions
I am with alibb on this one, Barbara. It looks like one of those striped mint candies they hand out at restaurants. But given the location it has to be some kind of unusual plant.
Since i took the picture the red stripes have darkened, so it doesn’t look like peppermint anymore.
Saw this great quiz too late, already after your publication about a blooming nigella plant, so my answer can’t be accepted. Anyway, like very much your form of quiz!!!
This form of quiz is much easier to write. The real quiz forms are very buggy and it takes many previews and corrections to get one right.
Grass and clover and some bud of a flower about the bloom perhaps.
You are pretty warm. I hope to have time to publish the answering post tomorrow, but it may not get approved for a day.
Thanks this was fun even if I was not correct.
I just submitted the answer post as part of the #jff challenge. Don’t know when it will be approved.
Soon I hope for you.
Thank you. I will be revealing the answer in another post soon.
I’ll probably post it tomorrow, since I have another project going today.
This is very difficult, it associates me with a poppy
Now that you mention it, that’s a very good guess.
This is hard. I see clover, anise, grass, and the fuzzy plant with the candy look alike. Poppy? Willl look forward to the answer!
Grass? Yes. But no anise. The “clover” is burr clover. I wish it were the good kind. Answers wil be forthcoming in a later post.
Ah, no anise. Hum.. so that is the flower that has the candy thing on it I bet. I have a bunch of that clover coming up in my yard. Im constantly pulling it. They get stuck in Meika’s fur!!
I like red and white clover better. The small flowers of the burr clover are yellow and don’t look like clover flowers at all.
Hmm… looks like a candy to me … lol
but i don’t think it is …
I guess you’ll have to wait for the next post on this with the answer and a more complete photo. It will probably be a story, not a poll.
