Flower Quiz

Flower Quizzes: 9 Quizzes to Identify, Name, and Understand

Recognizing a poppy, naming an orchid, placing a rose in its botanical family: flowering plants are everywhere, and yet they're easy to mix up. Our 9 flower quizzes bring together 88 verified questions to test your botanical knowledge, from the backyard daisy to far-off national emblems. This page is part of the science quizzes section, alongside the other nature quiz topics.

Identifying Wild Flowers of France

The red poppy, the daisy, the dandelion, the lily of the valley, the Alpine edelweiss, the daffodil, the common daisy: French wildflowers form a repertoire that most hikers name by eye. Our easy and medium quizzes have you name the most common ones, then tell them apart from the look-alikes people often confuse, such as jonquil and narcissus, or the common daisy and the oxeye daisy. Each question points to a verifiable botanical source, not to guesswork.

Botanical Families, the Language of Flowers, Emblems

Beyond identification, the hard level tackles Linnaeus's binomial nomenclature, the major families (Rosaceae, Asteraceae, Orchidaceae), and a few famous records: Rafflesia arnoldii, Victoria amazonica, Amorphophallus titanum. You'll also come across the Victorian language of flowers, Japan's imperial chrysanthemum, Scotland's thistle, Mexico's national dahlia, and the alpenrose. 88 questions in total, with three clearly separated levels.

A Timed Format for a Change of Pace

If the multiple-choice format feels too comfortable, switch to the timed quiz: same topic, but with a clock that tightens on every question. The fastest players often prefer the free-entry format, where you have to type the name of the flower with no answer choices.

Score, Timer, Overall Leaderboard

Each quiz gives you a score out of 10, a total time, and a spot on the week's overall leaderboard. You can replay a quiz to improve your time; your best attempts are the ones that count. Check out the daily quiz too, to keep practicing on a variety of topics.

Botany, Nature, and Beyond

Flowers don't live alone: they grow under trees, feed insects, and mingle with ferns and mushrooms. Once you've finished these 9 flower quizzes, try your luck again with the daily quiz or continue in the nature quiz section, where more botanical and zoological subtopics are gradually being added.
