They all look familiar in my garden. But I got 2 answers correctly. 🙁 I certainly enjoyed the quiz and the short lesson about these wonderful creations for us to enjoy!
Just as long as you had fun taking the quiz and enjoyed all the colorful flowers

Such a fun quiz and gorgeous flowers!
Glad you enjoyed it, Ellie. I didn’t know how difficult it would be but I thought it was worth looking at the flowers
I got 8/10, Rasma. That required a lot of thought and a bit of luck too! Good quiz 🙂
Very good score, Norman and glad you enjoyed the quiz

Not bad at all, Andre. Perhaps a certain species of that flower.
I got three correct. Such beauties they were.
thank you for taking the quiz, Kim and the best thing here was to see all these lovely flowers
well I am terrible at identifying flowers but I tried! I failed but I tried!
Just as long as you had fun taking the quiz Doc and got to enjoy all these beautiful flowers
i had a blast, just not a skill i have!
I did guess work. When we see flowers blooming all over the world it is difficult nigh impossible to know their origin.
Thank you for taking the quiz, Grace. Yes, it is hard to know because seeds get taken to all kinds of countries and things can get confused as to origins
I am happy you agree with my thoughts.
I get to know flowers a little more, my friend … even less where they come from … I have 3 correct answers
Just as long as you had fun taking the quiz and enjoyed all the beautiful flowers.
