Hello Folks! Flowers not only decorate our meadows, our woodlands, our roadsides with splashes of colour, but they also provide food and shelter for a whole host of insects. We have only to look at UK flowers to appreciate their beauty, their scent, their diversity.Each Monday for 12 weeks I will be posting a little teaser for you. Without looking in books or on the internet (i.e - no cheating), see if you can identify the UK flower. On Wednesday, so as long as no-one has guessed it, I will post one clue. On Friday I will post the answer along with some additional information for your interest.Keep a note of each species, as I will be asking which is the odd one out at the end of the quiz.MYSTERY FLOWER QUIZ#2Mythical dentures.
A toothed something but think I need more clues

My first thought was Toothwort, but it doen't fit. I think I need more clues too.

Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.

Centaurea would fit "mythical" but can't think of a variety to fit "dentures".

I'm thinking "Tooth Fairy" to link mythical and dentures but can't connect that to a plant.

Interesting! Dandelions I know comes from Lion's teeth (dent de lion), but Lions aren't mythical! Will have to have a think!

Oh now MarJus, don't rush to discount your idea. Lions are heraldic/mythical beasts.
You might have something there, Marjus.
Will post a lil' clue tomorrow.
could it be a dragon flower
Believe there is a false dragon head.

a good laugh is better than a tonic
Ray gave me an idea but I had to look it up. I'll therefore give my answer in the form of an anagram in case there's someone who actually knows without "cheating".
