11 Answers
A very interesting game this wekend. Some playres were obviosly readers and others non-readers, but there were probably those who thought it was a double bluff and despite there being what appeared to be obvious hints, shied away and went for something else instead.
Yes, 'Princess Diana' aka 'grannydi' gave strong hints in her preamble as to what you should pick.
There was much mentioning of plants flowering culminating in "Before we know where we are, the fruit trees will be in flower".
Then who could fail to pick up on the Wordsworth quote . . . 'A host of golden daffodils'. (Well, obviously, most of you.)
Then there was the reference to the grass being cut revealing over 180 shades of green.
Did you never stop to question why our 'Princess' bombarded you with all those Latin names and never once mentioned their common names?
This is what our 'Princess Diana' chose to tease you with:
CHERRY BLOSSOM
GOLDEN DAFFODILS
GREEN GRASS or GRASS GREEN
LATIN NAME (I feel sorry for MirandasMum who has the right idea but opted instead for 'Binomial Name'.

No best answer has yet been selected by gen2. Once a best answer has been selected, it will be shown here.
For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Although all four links were found within the first minute - an amazing feat in itself - three of those links were only chosen by three later players.
It looked like the game was going to be one of the lowest on record, but CHERRY BLOSSOM came to the rescue, being the popular choice of 14 players.
Roslyn251254 was first out of the shrubbery gates and immediately knocked off CHERRY BLOSSOM and GREEN GRASS for 4 points
Player #3, Euphemia, then picked off the other two: GOLDEN DAFFODIL & LATIN NAME for her 4 points.
Because all four bonus points had been triggered in the first minute, The window of opportunity closed at the end of the third minute, but nevertheless, there were a couple of claimants.
Manxiemo earned 4 points for both 'cherry blossom' and 'golden daffodil' while fordward only qualified for 2 points.
Thereafter only single points were available but there was on further double-hitter in the form of a recent newcomer to the game 'DickyTheCook' (2 points).
With three players scoring 4 points then who do I choose for the hotshot? Well, I think the most impressive was the player who hoisted herself out of 'The Free-fall Club', so . . .
**** THE HOTSHOT ****
** OF THIS WEEK IS **

In summary: This week's scorers were:-
