Name That Plant! ~ Quiz ~

[Snowwark]

First 3 of 10 questions. Give it a try! :)

1. I have strong-smelling, yellow flowers. I am easily propogated by my large black seeds. I provide long-lasting cut flowers. In Mexico, I am known as la flor de muerto, the flower of death. An ancient legend says that I am the flower that the Virgin Mary wore to symbolize the warm glow that radiated around her head. Do you know what I am?

a. Narcissus
b. Goldenrod
c. Marigold


2. I am well known for my (usually) yellow flowered presence that blossoms in spring gardens. I flower well under practically all conditions except deep shade. All of my species, well over 30 of them, are covered with sumptuous, pea like, often fragrant flowers. I can grow as tall as 15 feet.

a. Broom
b. Sweet Pea
c. Goldenrod


3. I am a silvery-green tree with open spreading branches. My blue-green leaves have an incredibly fresh scent and my creamy-pale bark sheds annually in late summer. I can tolerate extremely dry weather. I love the sun and I am found mainly in Australia.

a. Eucalyptus
b. Pine
c. Cypress

[Tulirose]

oooh Our very own multiple choice game!

I definitely know one answer but here are my guesses for what they are worth:[list=1] A - Narcissus. (I think I read somewhere that they are strong smelling.)
B - Sweet pea (You gave this answer away)
C - Eucalyptus (This was the one that I think I definitely know)
[/list=1]Very interesting info on all three flowers.

Do we get a prize for guessing?
Do we get a BIGGER surprise if we get them all right?

Tulirose loves surprises!!:Pinkbounc

Seeing there are only 2 out of three correct. How about broom for question #2's answer.
