Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. I am the floral emblem for the Vatican City. My regal white trumpet flowers have yellow stamen, and each stem is accompanied with long pointed leaves. What am I?

Answer: Easter lily

The pure white fragrant flower of the Easter lily (lilium longiflorum) signifies grace, hope and innocence, and has long been associated with the Virgin Mary. Early Christian legend says that her tomb was opened three days after her death and it was empty apart from being filled with lilies.
2. I am the floral emblem for Malaysia. My large exotic blooms come in shades of pink, red, yellow and orange. Which flower am I?

Answer: Hibiscus

Hibiscus (rosa sinensis) belongs to the mallow family. The Malaysians call them Bunga Raya and it is believed they first came to the country from China during the 12th century. Hibiscus tea is full of vitamin C and is drunk by infusing the dried sepals into hot water.
3. I am the floral emblem for Belize. My dark blooms have pale green petals and sepals, and my whole appearance resembles something you might find in the ocean. What is my name?

Answer: Black orchid

Belize is a country in Central America which is partly bordered by the warm Caribbean Sea. It is an ideal climate for the freely growing black orchid (prosthechea cochleata), the national flower of the country. Alternative names for the flower are cockleshell orchid or clamshell orchid. Although they look like an octopus, that is where the similarity ends!
4. I am the floral emblem for Egypt. I am an aquatic plant very similar to the water lily, with pretty blooms in shades of pale purple or pure white, sometimes with a tint of pink. What am I called?

Answer: Lotus

The lotus flower (nymphaea lotus) is also called the white lotus, tiger lotus and Egyptian water-lily. They are native to parts of Asia and Africa, especially around the River Nile in Egypt. The lily pads float on top of the water and the flowers rise above these.
5. I am the floral emblem for Finland. I have small but highly scented flowers which are used to make perfume and can be added to beauty products. What is my name?

Answer: Lily-of-the-valley

The small bell shaped flowers on lily-of-the-valley (convallaria majalis) pack a heady scent. The blooms are often used in bridal arrangements and displays, or they can be found naturally in shaded areas of the garden.
6. I am one of the floral emblems for New Zealand. My trees grow abundantly throughout the country and attached to these are yellow drooping flowers. What am I?

Answer: Kowhai

Kowhai (sophora microphylla) is a tree with an abundant growth of unusual yellow flowers. The word kowhai in Maori means "yellow". After each flower dies, a pod appears and each of these contains approximately six seeds. Other flowers considered to be emblem for this country include the silver fern and Pohutukawa.
7. I am the floral emblem for Iran. My scented flowers are famous throughout the world, and those interested in florology are certain to love my name. What am I otherwise known as?

Answer: Red rose

The red rose (rosa) is known throughout the world as a symbol of love. Florology is the study of flowers and their meanings. Red roses stand for love, white roses for purity, yellow roses for sunny feelings and orange roses for passion and desire.
8. I am the floral emblem for Ethiopia. My funnel shaped white blooms signify resurrection and rebirth which is why I can often be seen in funeral arrangements. What am I called?

Answer: Calla lily

Zantedeschia aethiopica is the Latin name for the calla lily. Native to southern parts of Africa, these plants can also be seen in warmer climates in other parts of the world. The flower is normally white, but can also have other shades which include pink, yellow and purple.
9. I am the floral emblem for Russia. My daisy-like flowers can be used for their soothing qualities, or steeped into hot water to make tea. What is my name?

Answer: Chamomile

Chamomile or camomile (matricaria recutita) has sweetly scented white flowers which are used to make tea and medicinal lotion. It has been used as a natural remedy for hundreds of years, and people with insomnia, skin irritations and sun burn can feel its benefit.
10. I am the unofficial floral emblem for Syria. I have shiny green leaves and small white, or yellow, highly scented flowers. What am I called?

Answer: Jasmine

Jasmine tends to flower during the summer and it is at dusk when we get the full effect of their heady scent. They are part of the olive family which also includes lilac, forsythia and privet. Jasmine oil is cultivated by using a method called enfleurage. Thousands of petals are placed on a cloth soaked with oil, and the scented essential oil is then extracted after a certain time period.
