Dear Readers, we had mixed fortunes with the quiz this week, with Mike from Alittlebitoutoffocus, Mal from FEARN and the invincible Fran and Bobby Freelove all in joint first with 15 out of 15. Rosalind and her ‘team’ came in second with um 1 out of 15 but I’m going to gloss over that because it’s not the winning that counts, it’s the taking part. Thank you to everyone for having a bash, and I am still mulling over what to do tomorrow so feel free to bribe me in the comments :-).
1) E) Few-flowered Fumitory (Fumaria vaillantii)
