	Nice quiz! Is there a tree one like this? That would be good too.

	Good quiz - more like it

	To echo jessbowen, a quiz where you identify the tree by a close-up of its leaf would be fun. This quiz was great though. I'm so glad I remembered forget-me-not!

	Top middle picture is a pelargonium not a geranium.

	I guess if I gave women flowers like I'm supposed to I might know more of these.

	im surprise so many people didn't get impatiens... we had tons in our garden.. but at first.. I always called them "impatients" haha

	Excellent quiz! @Getoka is correct, though people still commonly call it geranium. Pelargonium should definitely be accepted.

	@mikemike I had tons in mine too, but didn't get it. I think it was the colours, I've never seen them in most of those. But love, LOVE these photo quizzes!

	@Getoka you're right, though in this quiz, proper Latin names are not accepted; geranium is actually the name of a completely different flower. Great quiz, strange peonies

	Impatiens is commonly called 'busy lizzie'. Bleeding heart has a number of alternative names: 'love-lies-bleeding', 'lady in the bath', 'Dutchman's breeches'. A small carnation can be a 'pink'. Asters can be 'Michaelmas daisies'.

	@Triffid- thanks for the alternate suggestions- and I'll add pelargonium as well. I had a number of alternates for bleeding heart, but none of those (and I love 'dutchman' breeches'). I also had 'clove pink' but not just 'pink' so I'll add those too. I was going to do a leaf quiz, but one has already been done by ebertar: http://www.sporcle.com/games/ebertar/leafsilhouette

	Great quiz! I think the violets may specifically be johnny-jump-ups - if so, would you accept that as an alternate?

	I can't believe I got marigolds and chrysanthemums confused - especially since I lived in the so-called Marigold Capital of the World!

	@randycoxclemson: Hit F11 and see if it doesn't expand your screen a bit. That's what I always do for these bigger quizzes. I was thrown by the purple AND WHITE violets. And although I'm no flower expert by any means, I did have a couple of D'oh! moments on ones I missed.

	Oh what a wonderful quiz! Thanks Hejman! How ironic that I couldn't remember the name of "forget me not" ha ha!

	You should accept Antirrhinum for snapdragon.

	oooh great quiz. Any sequels in the future? Maybe a quiz grouping flowers commonly found in temperate, tropical, and/or desert climate zones? @Jess, a tree version would be nice.

	The Black Eyed Susan is Maryland's state flower, little known fact.

	Thanks for accepting "johnny jump-ups" for violet. Also...I forgot forget-me-nots. Oops.
