Spring Fling Blog Candy Winners

Game #1

Well I guess you could call the first game we played a bit of a train wreck, but I hope that you had fun anyways. Just for comedic purposes I left the name on the image below, so that once again if you hover your mouse over the image it will tell you the image is a peturnia - otherwise known as a "Rose of Sharon" or Hibiscus Syriacus. You would think that with having both of these beauties in my garden I would know the difference. That will teach me for staying up too late - LOL!

Our first winner was at 2:45 in the morning! So obviously Loydine you do so much better than I do staying up late :) CONGRATULATIONS - you really know your flowers, and more importantly flower leaves! There wasn't that much there to guess from - great job!

I think it is a basket of flowers, maybe hibiscus.

Now the next answer took a while. Perhaps we only call these bushes by their common name here in the Pacific Northwest. I had to look up the scientific name to verify what I believed was a correct answer after I realized that I hadn't specified what I was looking for - LOL! So a big CONGRATULATIONS goes out to Trena!

I have a new guess!

Rose of Sharon a.k.a. Hibiscus syriacus (google is wonderful!)

Take care and STAY POSITIVE!!

Game #2

 IB Seed Packets

Wicker Chair 

Daisy Cupcake 

This game was most definitely a little trickier! I was surprised that no one guessed that I had included an Itty Bitty (IB) and a cupcake. Karen is known in the industry for both of these - so I thought that if I showed any more of these images that everyone would guess it immediately and that wouldn't be nearly as much fun. So I cropped these images tight!

Picking the winner to this game was not nearly as straightforward as I thought it would be, so together with the girls who work here we reviewed the answers and decided that this was the closest first guess:

seed packets, wicker chair and summer daisies!

My mom passed away several years ago but just the other day I found myself quoting her to my grandson. He didn't want to put on clean clothes so I found myself saying to this 5 year old "always put on clean underwear, you never know when you will be in a accident." It made me laugh that her Momism, that I heard all the time, was popping up again even when she was gone.
