Personally, I'd have found it much easier if you wanted the Latin! I've managed 7 common names, no clue as to the others... not very good on common names and they differ enormously round the country, lol.
I'm still trying, got 2 more... good game!

Great idea Sticki!
I've managed twelve of them, but no idea about 1, 10, 11, 15 and 16.

Looking forward to the anwers . . .

20 Dec, 2010

20 Dec, 2010

 

I don't know any Latin, apart from that in common use in business - but plant names in Latin I do know - not cos its Latin, but just because that's what they're called, they're just names.

20 Dec, 2010
