Seven out of ten. I had put Aubrey instead of Audrey but considering my brain started at "the big fly trap thing in Little Shop of Horrors" I still feel quite pleased 😆🌳

That counts! Nice one, Fi, I think anything over 5 is a victory on these quizzes!

Ooh, I got 8 - I feel very clever! I know quite a lot about plants from walks in the local parks with my mom.

Nice work, Sheila! Although I hope there aren't too many triffids on your local walks...

Urgh! Only 3! Made the rookie mistake of answering Juliet instead of Romeo 🤦🏻‍♀️ and totally forgot the name of Audrey II. I knew the Norse tree began YG but I’m terrible at reading and retaining foreign names.

There are definitively some tricksy ones in there, and some from Anne that I definitely didn’t know. I got the idea of doing these from the Guardian Saturday quiz and I always get about 1 or 2 right!

I'm actually quite proud of guessing/deep recess recalling Pomegranate! Not quite as buffoonish as thought I was! But I will forever regret not saying Buttercup, which everyone knows is her (nick)name! Holly/wood was actually a snide snipe (Snape?) at the author's wishful thinking fulfilled!

Missed 4 and 8 and Harry’s wand, but I knew 8 was a palm.
