Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. "Come to me and play with me, I'm the babies flower, Make a necklace gay with me, Spend the whole long day with me, Till the sunset hour." Which flower fairy can you make into a necklace or crown?

Answer: Daisy

The daisy is a small white flower which grow amongst the grass. You can make a daisy necklace or crown, or just leave them where they are to enjoy them in their natural habitat.
2. "See my leaves with tooth-like edges; Blow my clocks to tell the time; See me flaunting by the hedges, In the meadow, in the lane, Gay and naughty in the garden; Pull me up - I grow again." When my flower finishes blooming you can blow my 'clock' to tell the time. What flower fairy am I?

Answer: Dandelion

The dandelion is a wild flower, but can sometimes grow in the garden. Once the golden-yellow petals stop flowering, blow the seed head to tell the time.
3. "I'm everyone's darling; the blackbird and starling Are shouting about me from blossoming boughs' For I, the Lent Lily, the Daffy-down-dilly, Have heard through the country the call to arouse." Which pretty spring flower fairy looks similar to a trumpet?

Answer: Daffodil

The daffodil bulb is planted in the autumn to flower the following spring. The bright golden-yellow flower brightens up any garden after a harsh winter.
4. "'Tis I whom children love the best; My wealth is all for them; For them is set each glossy cup Upon each sturdy stem." Which small golden flower fairy do you put under your chin to see whether you like butter?

Answer: Buttercup

An old myth says that when you place a buttercup under your chin, if the light reflects off the flower and your chin appears yellow, then you are supposed to like butter.

Answer: Forget-me-not

The tiny blue flowers appear on clusters in the spring. There is a legend that said that God had named all the flowers in the world, when a small unnoticed blue flower shouted out, "Forget-me-not!".
6. "Here are sweetest colours, fragrance very sweet; Here are silky pods of peas, not for us to eat!" Which flower fairy sounds like a vegetable, but one you cannot eat?

Answer: Sweet pea

The delicate sweet pea flower has got a lovely scent, and they come in a lot of different colours. They are just for show and cannot be eaten like the edible green peas you find on your dinner plate.
7. "Deep sleeps the winter, cold, wet, and grey; Surely all the world is dead, spring is far away. Wait! The world shall waken; It is not dead, for lo, The fair maids of February, stand in the snow!" Which delicate white bloom is usually the first flower fairy of the spring?

Answer: Snowdrop

Snowdrops are tiny white flowers that grow in gardens and woodland. They are some of the first bulbs to flower in the spring. Because the flowers droop down, place a mirror underneath to see the green and white flower tips inside.
8. "The lane is deep, the bank is steep, the tangled hedge is high. And clinging, twisting, up I creep, and climbing towards the sky." Which peach-cream-pink coloured flower fairy is loved by bees and can be trailed up fences and trellis?

Answer: Honeysuckle

Wisteria, clematis and rambling rose can all be trailed up fences, but the picture shown is of a honeysuckle. Bees love these flowers as they collect pollen from them to take back to their hives to make honey.

Answer: Pink

Pink, or dianthus, is the name of a flower. They come in different shades of white, cream, red, and yes, pink. So it is true you can grow pink pinks in your garden!
10. "Best and dearest flower that grows, perfect both to see and smell; Words can never, never tell, half the beauty of a ______." Take a look at this picture and guess which flower fairy is missing from this poem?

Answer: Rose

Roses are one of the most popular flowers in the world. They are highly scented, but watch out as most of the stems have prickly thorns. Red roses are for love, white flowers for innocence, and yellow flowers for friendship.
