Garden Club Austin MN
 

Hi from Austin MN.
Next month our garden club's program is to have our two Master
Gardener's answer gardening questions the members might have.
So when that is through, I am going to host a quiz show type contest
with the two Masters taking on the rest of the Club (we have about 30 member
show up per meeting.) I and the President of the Club will ask the questions
and tally the scores.
Can you help me with some gardening related questions - and their
answers. Such as:
Name me four songs with flowers in the title
I can think only of "Yellow Rose of Texas" and "The Rose"

Name me four books with plants or flowers in the title.
I can think only of "The Orchid Thief"

Women's names: Lily, Rose, Violet, Viola, - there has to be more...

Name me six varieties of tomatoes. (Spell tomatoes might be a good one.)

I am forming a question where the answer is genus, specie, variety.

How about: name me the zone that Austin Texas is in? 7?

This is a work in progress and I have a month to get together about 30
questions.
Hope the contest will be fun. I would appreciate any help I can get from
Austin Texas. Thanks.

Look in a seed catalog.
