  3. I got 11 right, enough to qualify, I guess. ?
    Disappointed there was no plane tree leaf, but I would have confused it with maple tree so I should be glad about that. I enjoyed the quiz, I really like the pics! ??
    Looking forward another one, actually. ?

  4. ARghh. I got 11 correct, but found out the name of a plant I needed to id, it’s sad and I don’t know why. The fatsia… I am terrible at remembering names of plants and flowers. Great quiz, wonderful pictures and your garden leaves.

  5. I got 11 right which was a miracle.

    Normally Norman, I cannot spot, name or identify plants unless you spot me the name, a trained biologist and a picture of the plant.

    Even then I struggle.

  7. I did not want to spoil my day. It is a beautiful day (lol) My passion is gardening and yet was at sea looking at all those photos. I did not attempt.
