A very happy orchid. Could you give us a hint where it growes?
24. Arja | 2008-07-21 | Engleza
No need for hint.  All you need to identify is in that picture (this was a hint)smiley
As you Ragna said: this is my speciality and therefore I thought that it isn't fair and  maybe is it best if I don't participate this quiz. So, I answer only if nobody else really can't.

 Is a common plant in the Mediterranean region eastwards to the Black Sea but is less common in its northern range being uncommon or local in Germany and Ireland. In the UK it has a distinct western preference being more common in Wales
where it is often found on sand dunes. In some countries the plants
have protected status. They are unusual in that in some years they
appear in great numbers, then sometimes only reappear after an absence
of many years.
27. meilin | 2008-07-21 | Engleza

33. Ragna | 2008-07-22 | Engleza
Ok. I'm not god at botanic, but it must change. I have to learn. Here is something. What?


The fly sits on a flower. But what is the name of the plant?
34. Ragna | 2008-07-23 | Engleza
Do you need a hint? It is a bush.
35. meilin | 2008-07-23 | Engleza
I think it`s a common flower in my country (if it`s what I think...)the problem is one ; don`t know the English name (seark in a dictionary) be right back whit the answer...the correct one I suppose...
36. meilin | 2008-07-23 | Engleza
rape?..!?!...smileynot sure is the rught word  smiley
37. Ragna | 2008-07-24 | Engleza
If you tell me the the name in you language I maybe find out if it is right.
38. Arja | 2008-07-24 | Engleza
By word "rape" meilin means "raps" or "rybs" in your language...
Maybe I'm not handling all of languages, but plants names (even in different countries) are clear to mesmiley
39. Arja | 2008-07-24 | Engleza
And this wasn't my answer, I just try to help you understand each other
40. Ragna | 2008-07-24 | Engleza
But it is not raps. It is a bush and you find it nearly only in the northern sphere. "Potentilla...."   is the first of two words of the latin name.

Here is some of Wikipedias describing.

........ is a popular ornamental plant throughout the cooler regions of Europe, the United States and Canada. Different cultivars
are variable with flowers ranging from white to yellow, orange and
pink, but they are all hardy plants that produce flowers for much of
the summer. The flowers are always small, flat, and round, but there
are many dozens on each bush. It is very often used by cities and
businesses for landscaping because of its hardiness and low
maintenance. It was introduced into cultivation in the 1700s, but many
of the modern cultivars, particularly those with orange or red flowers,
derive from collections by Reginald Farrer in western China in the early 20th century.[6] Plants are most often still grown and sold under the old name Potentilla.........
46. meilin | 2008-07-24 | Engleza
Potentilla  chamissonis...99% suresmiley
47. Lauretta Ivy | 2008-07-24 | Engleza

48. Ragna | 2008-07-24 | Engleza
I'm sorry smiley Its not in both cases. It is a bush and it is outside my house. I live in the middle part of Sweden. So it is not arctic. If you take the latin word for bush and put it behind the word I gave you than you can find it in english.
49. meilin | 2008-07-24 | Engleza
