UPDATE:
Answers to all Round #1 questions are posted on 7 March.
Scroll down to 8 March for Round #2!!
Scroll down to 29 April for answers to Round #2.

This was in Select Seed's e-mail newsletter (so if you saw it there, no "guessing" here!). They had the answers right with the quiz, but it's too easy that way. So I'll post the answers after you've had your fun. It's probably still too easy for DGer's, but let's see...

2 hints for questions I thought were a bit misleading:
#2. you'll have to add a little something
#10. we usually spell it as one word now


A Flower Guessing Game
We found this clever word game on a tattered piece of paper in our attic when we moved into our antique tall-posted cape. It shows its age, but transport yourself back to the earlier part of the last century and join us in play. The answers are all flowers!

1. My first name wears my second name on her foot.
2. A Roman numeral.
3. The hour before my English cousin’s tea.
4. A very gay and ferocious animal.
5. A young man’s farewell to his sweetheart.
6. Her reply to him.
7. Its own doctor.
8. My first is a country in Asia; my second is the name of a prominent New York family.
9. Fragrant letters.
10. My first is the name of a bird; my second is worn by cavalrymen.
11. What the father said to his son in the morning.
