2 ornamentals and 1 wild plant- Good luck!

Post by **MWP admin** » Tue Feb 05, 2008 8:48 pm

The Wild one is Catananche lutea (Asteraceae / garigue habitat), the other I leave it in the ornamental specialists

yes looks like Catananche, I was impressed by this species when I saw it in the wild.

wow, yes I confirm these two Maltese experts!

I try a bit of logistics:

Is the Ornamental 1 an Amaranth?
Is the fruit a Rosaceae ?

( Probably planet Pluto

)

He MWP: yes, the Amaranthaceae is correct- very good! The whole pic will you find in a few weeks (Sierra company).
No, Rosaceae is wrong. My hint: number the dry flowers

at least the family of 936?

I fire a guess on Rubiaceae (very unlikely - just from the fruit shape/size). I did not understand why the count of the dry fruit is a hint (which I counted 5)

not Rubiaceae.
I count 3 (on the left) dry flowers which never will produce fruits- tyüical for the family

hmmm... The hint reminded me immediately of Oxalis, but the Oxalis I know have an elongated poricidal capsule ?

So maybe an Ipomoea (which seldom make fruit)??

Jackpot, I think this quiz is game over and you should tell us

0936 is Euphorbia tirucalli, grown for ornament at many public and private sites.
