    Oh David and Strongy you missed the chance of seeing one of 'our' own on the box that's a great shame.....maybe it will be repeated on the other BBC programmes if you have the extra digital ones.

    My results were shown as zero too, but I think it was 6. I didn't count the yellow one, as I wasn't sure when I saw it on the television, but I remember what they said. I still can't remember the others even though they said them on the television.

    I went on Latin names only. I wouldn't have scored much with the English names. One problem is that there are so many different ones. I had some quite different names from yours, though I think at least some of mine were right.

    A good quiz Cheng - it would be nice if there were more of these.

    You have all done better than me, unfortunately my quiz program is not that intelligent, it only count when you write everything right including capital letters and they have to be in the right order as well. I will have to do something with coding when I got time.

    For the meaning time, you can go back and test again.

    There was a telephone quiz from the gardener of the year for the initial selection process, I am trying to get it and will put it on the site but only in the format of multiple choices quiz, so there will be no confusion.

    Being a Glasshouse tender perennial for the last forty years I stumble on hardy plant ID but it is good fun all the same. [​IMG]

    Cheng - you did so well. It is much easier for people in their homes, without any pressure. So often people in quizzes have to pass on a question, and it is obvious that it is on the tip of their tongue, but they just can't get it out in the time.
