A shallow weathered wooden bowl on an aged outdoor table holds an artful arrangement of garden flowers — a large blush rose in sharp focus at the front surrounded by a sunflower, tulip, orchid, daffodil, marigolds, peony, hydrangea and small daisies.

About the Quiz

This quiz focuses on common garden and bouquet flowers: sunflowers, roses, tulips, daisies, lilies, and more. Each question shows a photo (in the quiz interface) and asks you to pick the correct name. After you answer, I’ll share a short, curious fact about that flower — a bit of natural history or symbolism you can use at your next dinner-party flex.

If you love sunflowers or orchids, I wrote more about their meanings here: What Do Sunflowers Symbolize? and The Spiritual Meaning of Orchids.
