Most do. You will spot the greedy ones in about 2 weeks - on this site!

[margaretrae]

Not greed but if time is to be spent working out the answers as this quiz looks as if it will take time and postage for SAE's (large) are not cheap. Some of us are pensioners and do not have much to spare.

[gen2]

No large stamp needed if you use a DL or C5 envelope.

I'll certainly be sending for some for my friends-esp. seeing it's for Kirkcaldy Art Club

[gen2]

Thank you quinie

[quinie]

Hi,gen2 I presume the answers are flowers found anywhere in the UK, not just Scotland? I like the teasers!!

[gen2]

quinie, by definition, 25% are Scottish flowers and so are only (or mostly) found within Scotland.

The other 75% can be found blooming in many regions of the UK, but all are on the Fife list of recorded species.

Update:
One of our Club Members claims to have completed the quiz. He tells me that one of my flowers could also be a flower! I have looked it up and he is correct. If you are totting up your answers and come across this, I have counted it as flora in my own totals (75/25).
