2. marestail?

[boxtops]

is the number of dots in 3 significant?

[quinie]

3 tulips? two lips

[grasscarp]

3 Iris?

[grasscarp]

tulips better

[wm333]

Think mare's tail is a plant and not a flower.
Already have tulip and iris as answers to other questions
number of dots 5 but don't think significant.

Thanks

A bit iffy 1 Rue? (c)rue(l)-herbs maybe not allowed..
I thought mare's tail was a great answer-as the saying goes-a weed is just a flower in the wrong place!
3 Statice? (sounds like status)-very iffy

@quinie - Rue is a flowering plant of the genus Thalictrum. Looks good to me.

[grasscarp]

for 3, there seems to be a flower called Belly Button

2. Mare's Tail is the vernacular name of Conyza canadensis, or Canadian Fleabane. Yellow, dandelion-like flowers. Common in sand dunes.
Also known as horseweed.
