I love quizzes Eric. Is this one you created yourself? Have got about half of them so far but many have got me guessing :-D

 

I've only managed #25, my excuse is I'm foreign.

 

I've only managed to figure out 6 of these so far! I'll sit down with it again after the kids go to bed.

 

Oh my
I fell so silly - giggle giggle

I only got three. WIll have to sit with it some more. My excuse now is the timing - not time to read and think a bit... (I cannot also use Droopy's excuse)

 

Oh dear, my wife and I completed it in less than an hour. And much of that was stuck on one clue!

 

I'm not surprised you completed it so quickly Eric with your vast knowledge of plants

 

So do you want the answers now?

 

Yup, I think I'm ready too Eric!
