This is a similar style to my 1st February Quiz blog.
But this quiz is a bit easier than the previous puzzle.
You’re still welcome to send in answers for that one.
No closing date !
This new puzzle has 8 GoY photos, helping you to work out 8 answers … all 5-lettered words …
… and then you arrange the first letters of your eight words to spell the name of a TV gardening presenter.
Permission received for photos used. Thank you. :o)
1. Spring bulb ….. Carnaval de Nice.

2. Type of flower ….. Lily, at Felbrigge Hall.

3. General term for these growths on the log.

4. Type of shrub like Sambucus nigra ‘Black Lace’.
photo : Scottish
5. Creature such as the one in the picture below.

6. This is Val di Vergatello. In which country ?
photo : Gattina
7. Just one of these. Spring ….. ‘Red Beard’

8. Recent GoY photo : Garrya elliptica ‘….. Roof’
photo : Terratoonie
Please send your answers to me in a private message, not on the comments. Thanks.
Eight 5-lettered word answers plus one anagram ~ the two names of the TV gardening presenter. (3,5).
I’ll make a list on this blog of the members who send me the correct answers.
Please comment below, to let me know if you like this type of puzzle. Too easy ? Too difficult ? Thanks. :o)))
If I’m given enough encouragement, I’ll make another photo quiz for while we’re all snowed in ! ;o)
List of winners … well done to …

4 Feb, 2012
Can't do the second one - have all the answers but no telly, so have no idea who the presenters are!
4 Feb, 2012
google presenters then, that will be allowed
5 Feb, 2012
Thanks Yorks.

5 Feb, 2012
Have to confess I looked at Terra's old blogs for this one, but I checked and she said it wasn't cheating!
5 Feb, 2012
I agree,Steragram..we all have to do some research from somewhere,don't we ? ..but part of the enjoyment,when you find it :o)
5 Feb, 2012
Not cheating ... it's research and learning.. ;o) Lol.
