A quiz for you on foliage and blossoms, can you name the plant? It's a fairly easy test so no googling, no textbooks, and no copying from your neighbor... The tests starts the moment you open this blog, so no you can't come back to it later after you have thought about it to give your answers...Begin...
**Bonus question for those not gardening inclined....
If Sno has 12 apples, and Aka has 23 oranges, and Zzee has 16 grapes, and Umbumbles comes along and eats the apples, the oranges, and the grapes...how long before he has a tummy ache?
let x represent his age
let y represent his weight
let z represent the circumference of his stomach
(extra points for showing your work and explaining your theory)...
ANSWERS:
Congrats everyone on your guesses, you did fantastic!....
The winner of the bonus question goes to Mac for his problem solving and explanation of his answer/theory...
I failed ;o) So sorry but it was going good as it got hard i got dumb! Thanks for thrbrain tease ;o)
ReplyDelete7 minutes and 13 seconds...
ReplyDeleteI would say about on the second orage.......deprnding on type and size of apple of course...maybe he shouldn't eat the grapes but rather use them as a plug to hold in what will happen after all them apples......OMG we have had WAY too much rain here.........did I mention it is raining again,???
ReplyDeleteHey , is that my whatzit?????
ReplyDeleteLordy Vic, you don't make nothing easy do you? lol I should have loved flower's when I was younger and maybe then I would know most of them...BUT I DO KNOW THE ROSE! As for the belly ache, he would have one right away because if he tried to take those item's from those gal's they would have punched him in his belly. lol
ReplyDeleteI know a few I think, rose cactus, fern, bachelor button, tulip, daffodil, Sylvia, and is the one on the bottom some type of veggie like pumpkin? Okay, so I got rose right anyway I think. And my answer to the last question would be the minute he took the fruit from the others. Because.....they punched him in the tummy for taking their fruit.
ReplyDeleteyellow -red -green-poiple-blue

ReplyDeleteYEH VICCLES I LIKE TO KEEP THINGS SIMPLE - I WISH I COULD REMEBER NAMES -BUT I REALITY IN THE WORLD OF YAR I SEE I PLANT -SOME ARE PRETTY SOME SMELL GOOD AND THATS ALL I NEED TO KNOW TO MAKE ME SMILE
ReplyDeleteHEY I KNOW MY VEGIES THOUGH LOL
ReplyDeleteOne of them is sedum, rose and a tulip leaf...maybe a clematis ??? Sits back and waits for Vero. Some I see I have in yard this year I have no clue as to the name.

ReplyDeletea yellow flower, a flower from Jurassic Park, a purple flower, a fern.a rose, a pink flower, a venus fly trap, green icing cake flowers, iris, a green bushy plant, wet green big leaves, pretty purple flowers, Stink Pot in a chinese dragon costume, something pink in front of the lens, green leafs from a tubar, a sun flower, a cat toy and the last one is a tomato blossom..
ReplyDeleteExtra credit, yippee!!!
"X" x "Y" x "Z" squared and divided by the consumption of the apples and oranges multiplied by the 16 rotten grapes + the speed of Um chasing a flat bed hauling a porta john= 12 minutes and 35 seconds give or take depending on whether the chase is up or down hill and whether or not Akie and Sno laced their fruit with EXLAX.
Mac wins!
ReplyDeleteMac, I only put a few exlax in, he should be good for at least 11 minutes...dunno bout Aka though
ReplyDeleteEats the apples and oranges (yes they tried to punch, but are only girls), but per Sue's advice, saves the grapes to use as uh plugs. Now if you'll excuse me, I've a flatbed to catch . . .
ReplyDeleteI think that one is Sedum (which I call broccoli plants) and I couldn't figure out how to get the exlax in the oranges without peeling them. I'm also really bad at algebra so I can't figure out the bonus quiz either.
ReplyDeleteWheres VERO ?? she will know . I know some but not all. Thinks the last one is a Tomato flower, 2nd one looks like borage, the white one looks like an azalia, I know the the rose, 2nd to last echineasia,(bad spelling) 3rd from bottom chrysathmum,4th from bottom Hosta , 5th from bottom Camelia ,6th from bottom lambs ear, 7th from bottom Budleia,the one below therose is a floxglove?1st one a daliah? ewwwwwwwww

ReplyDeleteLooks over to cheat off of Vero. Writes coreopsis divided by 2.
ReplyDeleteI posted my guesses before you Vero.......
ReplyDeleteYou changed the names on some we do not call them that in England
ReplyDeleteLol Robert, some of the plants are known by more than one name here as well....for instance bachelor buttons are also called cornflowers, foxglove is also known as digitalis, ajuga is sometimes called bugleweed, etc.
ReplyDeleteHey I didn't do too bad !!!!!! Thanks Viccles that was fun!!!!
ReplyDeleteYayyyyy I did good!
ReplyDeleteDoes Mac get a prize?
ReplyDeleteOh, wait, Mac IS a prize!
ReplyDeleteZeeeeeee wins!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI totally lost. I only knew the rose. What a gardener I am!
ReplyDeleteHow come I missed this blog???? I see a lot of greenus, purplous , yellowous flowerous exoticus...and did I win?? Mac is the prize??? I think Umm ate all the flowers too..and why should a zee represent the circumference of his stomach??? Vic..do animals next please...I know all those names.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a prize, lol. I think that if Zee is the winner she should get a quart of that slurry Vic has been sitting in for the last couple of weeks. It should be ready about now.
ReplyDeleteWell, at least I got ONE right...
ReplyDeleteYeah! Do animals!
ReplyDeleteOk put me in the corner and put a dunce hat on me - although I do grow flowers with the exception of the rose and fern, sunflower and tulips I know none of them by name, so I just called them *pretty* lol
ReplyDeleteSee I have sedum and whuuud? ajuga hmmmm so now I'll come to you from now on whenever I need some flowers to plant. Smiles
