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.
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??

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