Here is a little quiz on the plants that bloom in the Spring. All the plants on the quiz have been the subject of a Plant Profile on this site. Look at the pictures and the list of plants and see if you can match the names to the pictures. Once you decide on a name for a plant click on the plant and you will go to the Plant Profile for that plant and find out if you are correct. You can read further about the plant if you are interested or return to the quiz.
Here is a scale of expertise based on the number correct:

Looks like a great quiz….I’m still too much of a novice to identify a variety of flower plants by photos. lol. Will have to do more research, to see if any are fit for zones 5-6 north of the Mason Dixon Line. Thanks for giving me more ideas.
Try matching a name to a photo. No one will ever know if you get it right but you might even learn some by doing the quiz. I was a high school teacher for over 30 years and can’t resist making up quizzes. I think they are a great learning tool.
