No, this isn't my answers to the quiz that's going around. I can't see as anyone would find those much more interesting than reading my dreams. But since a lot of y'all seemed to enjoy filling that out, here's some more questions. These are all common plants that are called by different names than I use by at least one person I know.

Like I was paying attention when Dad named these
5. Violet. Then again, I call everything small and purple a violet.
6. Mandaglorian Death Vine.
7. I can't remember what we called these, I do remember there was a way of folding the stem which would make the head shoot off.
8. magnolia. I've also heard Tulip Tree, but I honestly can't tell the difference between the two.
10. I like the flowers,
I like the daffodils,
I like the mountains,
I like the rolling hills,
I like the fireside when the lights are low,
Singing de-dum-de-da, de-dum-de-da, de-dum-de-da, de-dum
you learned nothing from your siblings either
I've got to get out more
