Name those Plants – Win a Plant!
January 25, 2011
Win this hanging basket of gazania by being the first to correctly identify eight of the plants featured in yesterday’s What’s Blooming post. Number and write your answers as a comment to this blog post below. Include the common name and the genus in your answer.
We’ll check the comments at least once daily and the comments will be hidden until someone correctly guesses all eight. Click on the picture for a larger image. If no one gets all eight, the person with the highest number correct will win! Contest ends Friday, Jan 28 at noon. Prizes cannot be shipped. Good luck!
