Can you name a flower from a photo?

Beautiful Flowers is a collection of ten picture quizzes about the plant world: common species and rarities, garden flowers and wildflowers, shapes and colors we often see without knowing their names. A calm collection, and surprisingly hard.

Photos only

All ten quizzes are Picture quizzes: you start from a photograph and pick the right species. It is real training for the eye, because petals, leaves and overall shape all become clues.

Who it is for

Perfect for anyone with a green thumb, for people who walk outdoors a lot, and for anyone who wants to finally put a name to the flowers they photograph. If you enjoy nature, try the Animal Quiz too.

Questions about Beautiful Flowers, with answers

What is the largest flower in the world?

Rafflesia arnoldii, which can reach about three feet (1 m) across in the rainforests of Sumatra and Borneo. It has no leaves or stem, lives as a parasite, and smells like rotting meat to attract flies.

What was tulip mania?

A speculative bubble that hit the Dutch Republic in 1637. Tulip bulbs sold for huge sums, in some accounts as much as a house on a canal, and then the market collapsed within weeks. It is often called one of the first recorded financial bubbles.

Why are flowers colorful?

To be found by pollinators. Many flowers also carry patterns we cannot see, because they are in ultraviolet light. Bees can see that range, and the patterns work like landing strips.

What is the language of flowers?

Floriography: the custom, codified in Victorian times, of giving each species and arrangement a precise meaning, so a bouquet could say what could not be written.
