Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Found in damp woodland locales, this plant takes a long time to begin flowering. It generally blooms in delicately feminine pink and white. What is its name?

Answer: Lady's slipper

The lady's slipper is the state flower of Minnesota. It can take as long as 16 YEARS to begin to flower!
2. These familiar cup-shaped flowers grow from bulbs. They can be found in a wide array of colors. What flower is this, nearly synonymous with springtime?

Answer: Tulip

Tulips are native to Africa, Asia and Europe. They grow wild - close to 75 wild species have been identified! - throughout Mediterranean latitudes from Spain to northwestern China. They require a period of cool temperatures yearly, when they go dormant.
3. What is the name of the bright blue bloom that is also known as bachelor's button? (Hope the photo isn't too grainy!)

Answer: Cornflower

Cornflowers are native to Europe and often grew wild in cultivated fields, hence their name. Use of pesticides has reduced the incidence of the plant in its native habitat to the point of endangerment; however, it has been introduced to other parts of the world due to its ornamental value, so it is not in immediate danger of extinction.
4. Often touted as the most beautiful, most romantic, most fragrant, and among the most temperamental of flowers, what flower is frequently sold by the dozen, with long stems?

Answer: Rose

Roses form a large family, with around 100 species occurring naturally, and thousands of cultivars. They come in a variety of forms, from trailing vines to woody shrubs. The largest number of species is native to Asia, but there are also varieties native to Africa, Europe, and North America.
5. This plant - Latin name Arisaema triphyllum - has strange-looking greenish inflorescences often with yellow and/or purple stripes. Its name is also unique, a fanciful description of what the plant looks like. What interesting plant am I describing?

Answer: Jack-in-the-pulpit

Jack-in-the-pulpit is indigenous to wooded and damp areas in the Eastern United States and parts of Eastern Canada. It has a small upright peg-shaped flower ("Jack") around and over which is located a long leafy structure ("the pulpit").

Jacks-in-the-pulpit contain calcium oxalate, a chemical which, if one consumes the plant uncooked, can cause a burning sensation in the mouth and stomach and even potentially interfere with breathing. If properly prepared by drying or cooking, the plant is edible.
6. This lush and very fragrant flower is native to the warmer regions of Asia, and Oceania. It can be made into tea and also is used in perfumes. What is its name?

Answer: Jasmine

The gathering of jasmine flowers to make perfumes or oils is performed at night because their scent intensifies when it is dark. The flowers are generally white or yellow.
7. A reliable spring bloomer, this tree and/or its flower are the state symbols of Virginia, New Jersey, Missouri, and North Carolina, as well as the official flower of the Canadian province of British Columbia. Can you name it?

Answer: Dogwood

Dogwoods are native to Asia, Europe and the United States. China, Japan, and the southeastern region of the US in particular are home to a large number of varieties. Dogwood is a very hard wood; its name may be derived from the Old English "dagwood" (hmm, is there a Blondie connection here?), which referred to woods from which daggers could be fashioned.
8. This flower blooms in the spring, but there is also an autumn-blooming form from which a pricey spice is derived. It comes up very early in spring, even occasionally making its first appearance before the winter's snow is gone. Can you guess its name?

Answer: Crocus

Saffron is obtained from the crocus flower, and the the name derives from an ancient word for "saffron". Although a number of crocus varieties are spring bloomers-and even a reliable harbinger of the season-the saffron-bearing type (C. sativus) blooms in autumn.
9. What pretty flower, with a galactic name, is actually a member of the sunflower family?

Answer: Cosmos

Most cosmos species are native to Mexico, Central and South America, and the southern US.

They come in a wide array of colors, but not all cosmos grow to the height of sunflowers. Some varieties reach only a foot in height.
10. What small but vibrantly-colored flower, mentioned in "Little Women", used to have an alternate name of "heart's ease"?

Answer: Pansy

11. This flower is well-known as the state flower of Texas. From March to May each year, it can be found in abundance along Texas highways and sprinkled through fields. Can you guess its name?

Answer: Bluebonnet

Bluebonnets include a number of species, all of which fall into the genus Lupinus, a type of legume. The petal's shape resembles a pioneer woman's bonnet, hence the name.
12. Desert flowers are often among the most delicate and beautiful of all. Of the four listed here, which is native to areas of very little rainfall?

14. This tiny, white, bell-shaped flower found in woodlands is very poisonous. Can you name it?

Answer: Lily of the valley

While the lily of the valley smells sweet, it can be deadly. All parts of the plant are poisonous, containing toxins that can slow down or even stop a heartbeat.

The flowers have been popular for use in bridal bouquets. Legend has it that the flower originated from the tears of Mary as her son Jesus was crucified.
15. Can you name the flowering shrub, also known as meadowsweet, which is generally characterized as one of the easiest to grow and maintain?

Answer: Spirea

Spirea bushes are versatile, undemanding plants that grow well in carefully tended gardens or benignly neglected urban curbsides. There are many varieties, flower colors, and bush sizes available, and they grow in a wide range of climates, including very cold environments like the northern plains of the US.

The other three choices listed here tend to be temperamental, with specific soil pH, watering, and temperature requirements.
