Well done everyone. Another great quiz @Mi-Amigo 

The reason I know Alkanet is because I have them in my garden, despite the fact they are a weed.:joy:

Other half would like to pull them up. Not a cat in hells chance. If they are controlled they are quite pretty.

 

Ermm @Mi-Amigo  did I notice CODES in the next ODD quiz? Not morse code surely?? :rofl:

Thank you @Cleoriff 

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz and well done on getting a Silver Thinker - as the alkanet question was a little tricky.

 

As to today`s "Odd Questions" edition of the WRQ, yes there is a question on CODES 

- as mentioned on today`s WRQ thread, the good news is it is not on "morse code" :thumbsup:

but the bad news is there is a question on a new subject - CLOTHES :thumbsdown:
