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.

Ich fand deine Träume schon interessanter als dieses Rätsel, dass ich erst soeben entdeckt habe. Deine Träume wollte ich absichtlich unkommentiert lassen. Nun zum Rätsel:

1. Iris
2. Hibiskus (wahrscheinlich blamiert!)
3. Sommerlinde?
4. Zimmerrankengewächs (soll es das in der freien Natur geben?)
5. Nicht Vergiss-mein-nicht
6. Lilien
7. Pusteblume
8. Magnolia (hier bin ich mir ausnahmsweise vollkommen sicher)
9. Irgend ein Fahngewächs
10. Schneeglöckchen / Osterglocke / gelbe Narzisse

Ja, das Spiel hatten wir schon einmal im Park. Ich war so angetan von Dir wegen deiner (unerwarteten) Energie und deinem Enthusiasmus.

Ich fürchte, dass ich auch bei diesem Rätsel versagt habe.

Like I was paying attention when Dad named these

From: [identity profile] bunj.livejournal.com
1. Iris
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,
