Final Questions! :)

1. I have over 500 species, but for the most part, I am a vine that thrives in warm climates. Once I get going, I can really take over your garden. My seeds are highly toxic. Don't let that scare you away, I can add beauty to any garden with my wide variety of flower colors. My name is something that you might say to wake up a small child or loved one.

a.) Morning Glory
b.) Sweet Pea
c.) Honeysuckle

2. I was pretty much unheard of in America until the 1960's when a breeder in Costa Rica named Claude Hope developed my Elfin strain. Now I'm one of the most popular bedding plants sold in the United States. I thrive in shade and I'm almost always in bloom. I'm so easy to grow that even the brownest of thumbs can watch me flourish (in fact, some expert gardeners turn their nose up at me for this very reason). Can you guess what I am?

a.) Coral Bells
b.) Impatien
c.) Marigold

3. I am a flowerless perennial. I generally grow near water. But I warn you, I can be extremely invasive (that's why it's best to plant me in a container in the ground so that I don't take over your garden). My name refers to the hairy part of an animal.

a.) Goatsbeard
b.) Foxtail millet
c.) Horsetail

4. I can grow up, over, and around nearly anything that lies in my path. In fact, when Robert Frost wrote his famous poem, "The Wood Pile", he said I "wound strings round and round it like a bundle." I also have beautiful abundant flowers that make me a stunning addition to any garden. And with more than 200 species, I can grow pretty much all over the world.

a.) Clematis
b.) Morning Glory
c.) Honeysuckle


Go for it!! :) :)
 
Where is everybody no guesses?

I'll start

1. Morning Glory-could use a little hallucinating right now.

2. Impatien-no nose turning here, love these plants.

3. Horsetail-swish swish

4. Honeysuckle-tangles in the sweet smell.
 
The answer to all the questions is beer.

Oh, sorry, wrong forum! ;) Ha ha ha! Just thinking about next week.

1. a
2. b
3. c (but I cheated!) ;)
4. c (was a toss-up between that or morning glory, but I thought about how hard it was to clear some honeysuckle that had grown all over my parents back yard, so I figured that must be it). ;)

I just love these quizzes!!!!!! And this time I will be patient and wait for the answers without too much grumbling. ;)

SEE YOU NEXT WEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yaaaaaay!!!!
