Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Daze sea?

Answer: daisy

The word daisy comes from "day's eye," since some daisies close up at night.

2. Eye risk?

Answer: iris

The beautiful, showy iris got its name from the Greek word for rainbow.

3. Duffle dull?

Answer: daffodil

There's a Mother Goose rhyme about these:

Daffy Down Dilly
has come to town
in a yellow petticoat
and a green gown.

4. Son flour?

Answer: sunflower

Its scientific name is helianthus (in Greek mythology, Helios is the sun).

5. Core neigh shun?

Answer: carnation

Here's a rather gory bit of trivia: the carnation's name comes from the Latin word for meat or flesh (carne). That's because all carnations used to be pink (flesh-colored). Now they come in many colors, including green for St. Patrick's Day (dyed, I assume). I like the white ones tipped with red.

6. Callow lull Leigh?

Answer: calla lily

It was in the comedy "Stage Door" that Katharine Hepburn (playing a stage actress) delivered her famous line, "The calla lilies are in bloom again." (I always thought it was a serious line from "Long Day's Journey into Night," but I was wrong.)

7. Burr dove parrot dice?

Answer: bird of paradise

These flowers look to me like green-headed birds with orange and purple topknots.

8. Higher cinch?

Answer: hyacinth

These plants grow from bulbs and have deep blue blooms.

9. Dull finny hum?

Answer: delphinium

Did you know this word is related to the word "dolphin"? These can be deep blue, too.

10. Row dough din drone?

Answer: rhododendron

Rhododendron blossoms are big, showy flowers that come in many different colors from purple to deep pink to pale yellow. (Dendron means "tree" in Latin, by the way.)

11. Pay peace press?

Answer: baby's breath

Florists often fill out bouquets with sprays of these tiny white flowers.

12. Swede wool yam?

Answer: Sweet William

Sweet William blooms look to me like miniature bouquets.

13. Chris Andy Maugham?

Answer: chrysanthemum

Chrysanthemum blooms are large and globe-shaped, with many petals. "Anthos" means "flower" in Greek.

14. Lye lick?

Answer: lilac

The word lilac comes from a Persian word meaning "bluish," but some lilac blooms are white. They smell lovely--I have a lilac tree outside my bedroom window.

15. Green Nan's lays?

Answer: Queen Anne's lace

These sprays of delicate white flowers do look like lace--they are similar to baby's breath.
