Guess the Flower competition.


I'm 99% sure that no-one will know this; but 'bravo' if you do.


No prizes I'm afraid, but extreme 'blog-world kudos' to anyone who guesses correctly.

I shall post the answer later; unless someone finds it beforehand!

  1. Hmmm... the blossoms are a bit blurry, but perhaps a mock orange? A pretty little flower.

  4. Some sort of cabbage family plant that has gone to seed in your veggie garden.

  5. Whatever I add will get a 'nope'. I've got nope idea!

  6. Curious flowers. We bought some as cut flowers perhaps last spring and damn, damn, damn, I did not ask what they were and therefore cannot show off my most expert horticultural knowledge.

  7. Hedge garlic (Jack-by-the-Hedge) perhaps?

  8. Guessing it's a wildflower from the meadow or even a weed? Mustn't be from your garden if you're getting us guessing.

  11. Don't know - I guess it is some kind of fruit blossom or something along those lines if it is from your own garden. Otherwise it could well be something from a syringa family. In other words I really have no idea.

  12. Hi Cro,
    Could that be Chestnut?

  13. I had to look very hard but I think this might be Shepherd's Purse.It's the little seed pods that possibly give it away. But I could be wrong....

  14. I have grown HORSERADISH for many years, but have never before seen it flower.

    1. You shouldn't. I don't think many (including myself) would have had a clue!

  16. I would never have guessed that. They are very pretty.

    1. Someone saw your, and my, comments, and added 2 and 2.

    2. I blame my brother who arrived as I was putting the comment on and then stayed chatting for two hours.

    3. I don't begrudge you anything. I would just have returned earlier and seen the clue if I had been free this afternoon and then I might have pipped you at the post.

    4. It is extraordinary how comments from certain trolls can change the atmosphere of a posting in an instant. I would have deleted Bitch's comment (as I do with others) had she not answered correctly. But it would have seemed nasty to have done so.

  18. I googled it to check and it's almost worth growing for the flowers.

    1. Not really. When I cut the flower, the tiny florets started to drop immediately. Pretty though!

  19. I would never have guessed that and I see Bok is happy enjoying the sun.

    1. I wouldn't have either. Luckily it was growing on top of a plant I know very well.

  20. This guessing post was enjoyable Cro! x

  21. White coral bells upon a slender stalk
    Lilies of the valley line my garden walk.
    Oh, don't you wish that you could hear them ring?
    That will happen only when the fairies sing.

    1. On 1st May in France, sprigs of Lilies of the valley are given as gifts to friends, clients, and neighbours.
