67 comments


GORIILLA SUITS AT THE READY !

… IT’S GARDEN QUIZ TIME !!!

This final quiz is a similar format to my two previous quizzes.

The answer to each of the 16 photo clues is a word of 6 letters. I’ve indicated where the answer is plural.

When you have 16 answers, rearrange the first letters of all the words, to make a GoYpedia category, which could be described as places to visit where unusual and interesting plants are grown. [plural] [9,7]

Please don’t write your answers in the comments.

Send your 16 words and final anagram to me by private message.

I’ll make a list on this blog of the members with all correct answers.

Good luck and thanks for joining in. :o)

Way to go Terra, all done whilst watching Rosemary and Thyme, dogs asleep in front of fire and actually obeyed instructions to the full, its been snowing since about 5pm here and still falling, looks great outside all pristine and white, lol.
Really enjoyed myself, thankyou...

4 Feb, 2012

Snow still falling here. Keep warm and safe. x

4 Feb, 2012

Sorry to read you've got snow. We had a flurry this morning, but now we've got pouring rain ....

4 Feb, 2012

 

Thanks Terra, for taking all this trouble just for us!

(light dusting of snow here too).

4 Feb, 2012

 

Thanks TT. This one definitely took more thinking about than the other two. Thanks for setting them for us all TT.

4 Feb, 2012

4 Feb, 2012

 

more like 4" now and still snowing!!

i dont think its freezing though

4 Feb, 2012

 

Oh Terra - I'm struggling with this one! Thought I had most of the answers, but the "anagram" just isn't working . . . if only I knew all the GoY categories, lol.

Snow falling thick and fast - and settling, because the ground is as hard as iron. Windy too: v glad I'm indoors!

4 Feb, 2012

 

Thanks TT improving my spelling no end lol

4 Feb, 2012

5 Feb, 2012

 

Hi Mavis...
That's good you don't have too much snow. Glad you like the quizzes and the GoYer's pics.

Yes some fantastic photos I borrowed for the puzzles. Very kind of members to lend them.

I'm working my way through about 25 messages of answer lists, so apologies to everyone if it takes me a while ...

5 Feb, 2012

 

Thanks so much Terra - enjoyed it even if it did take me a while. As Mavis said . . . lovely to enjoy the gallery of GoY photos.

5 Feb, 2012

 

Yes, agreed, Sheila... great photos from everyone, and I find I learn about plants etc by making the puzzles.

I hope to have caught up with everyone's answers by this evening.

If, by then, anyone thinks their name has been missed from any of the winner lists please let me know...

I'm doing my best to keep track. LOL.

5 Feb, 2012

Its been a tonic having those quizzes to do Terra, the Gorilla suit came in very useful when I had to go outside--- just took ages to dry the feet as my wellies didn't fit!!

Hywel sounds as if you've been lucky this time....:o))

5 Feb, 2012

 

Thanks Pam..
