Introduction:
"Take an easy stroll around a typical English country garden. Great quiz for those living abroad, 100 points for desperate point chasers in England!"


1. The first stop in my garden is at some trees with a green fruit on them that can turn red towards September and then fall if not picked. The English often wrap pastry around them and bake them into dumplings. Which fruit is this?
    apples
    plums
    peaches
    gooseberries


2. Next on my journey are some flowers on a thorny bush that are typical of any country garden in this part of the world. This flower gave its name to wars in England between 1455 and 1485. Which flower is it?
    rose
    geranium
    lilac

    lilac
    holly tree

6. This next flower comes to bloom in about March or April. It usually has a pale yellow flower like a bell. It is fairly hardy and will fight its way through snow on the ground.
