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#11As a plant, I'm a real slippery customer.

wieghing things up got to go with Sea wrack team. anagram of as a wreck as others have pointed out.
Understand Sea wrack is the seaweed that attatches itself to rocks and appears as the tide goes out and is very slippy to walk on.
MrsT's there is an odd one out could mean that this is theb one without a creatures name involved so could eliminate Eel grass.
going off for the day so will check tonight
