[Snowwark]

You buds are just trying to trick me, aren't you? You really do know all the answers....lol

TigH, I know I sound a bit like Meatloaf.....but two out of three ain't bad!!

No one else going to give it a try?

I'll post the answers tomorrow, maybe.

 

[Tulirose]

oooh Our very own multiple choice game!

I definitely know one answer but here are my guesses for what they are worth:

1. A - Narcissus. (I think I read somewhere that they are strong smelling.)
2. B - Sweet pea (You gave this answer away)
3. 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!!
