Wow, amazing, a lovely quiz on leaves.; )
Thank you, Tiada 🙂
I got 7/21 but I was mainly guessing.
Not bad for pure guesswork, Lena! Thanks for trying the quiz 🙂
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. ?
Thank you for your encouragement! And not bad on the score 🙂
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.
Ah, thank you, Kim! I didn’t quite get what’s sad, but I’m pretty lousy at remembering botanical names too. I have a big database in Excel, with all my stuff logged in it. I would be totally lost without it 🙂
Sad, that I can’t remember enough or more.
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.
You got 15 out of 21 right!
You did very well! It was a very challenging quiz 🙂
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.
What grows here is quite different from what grows over there, I think! One of the joys of visiting India for me is seeing all of the exotic flora 🙂
Each State depending on the climate has different flora.
I am a gardener but I am not good in identifying plants.
It was an interesting quiz but I don’t know much about leaves I did get 8 though just by guessing.
Well that’s not a bad result from pure guesswork – I guess! Thanks for trying the quiz, Rasma 🙂
Missed many of these Norman. Got 10 correct. Most I had not heard of but learned a lot. Thanks for the information! Great quiz.
Not bad at all, Carol! I am glad you enjoyed. Thanks for participating 🙂
Omg… I only got 5 correct. I am not good with their scientific names.
It was certainly a challenging quiz, Nela 🙂
