Don't know any 😭

@Mi-Amigo

That big flower 🌼 🌸 is interesting

3ft across that would fill the dining table in a vase 🤣 no room to eat.

Never heard of the musical instrument..not by that name anyway.

The pink prowler .. I could guess that one.

I'll have to wait till the Wednesday quiz 😩

Tricky! Names, y'see... Glad with my score for all that, and well done all. Thanks, @Mi-Amigo 😎

The flower question was interesting @Mi-Amigo. (as I'm sure you know). It was on a nature programme some time ago and has a different name. As it smells absolutely foul, it's otherwise known as the Corpse Flower. Lovely aroma of rotting flesh!!😂🤢

Well done all. xx
