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#6A bird of prey might hear this nervous rodent.
Hear + rodent = Mouse-ear? That doesn't include the BoP or nervous though.... Going to have to think on this!

Could be right Marjus, believe the flower is one of the hawkweed family,

The nervouse rodent is a mouse
a good laugh is better than a tonic
Gosh, you lot are good. I'd got as far as thinking about Hawk as the BoP but couldn't get any further.
