ORCHIDS

I am no botanist, but a couple of these look like roses to me.  Tell me what you think.

But first, a quiz that I may have posted before.  Answers below.


A STATELY QUIZ
Of the 50 states in the union, which is the most northerly, the most southerly, the most easterly, and the most westerly?

 

 

 

QUIZ ANSWERS

Northerly - If you said Maine, go back and read the question again. It says, “Of the 50 states in the union...”
If you said Alaska, you are correct.

Southerly - If you said Florida, try again.  If you said Hawaii, you are correct.

Westerly - No, not Hawaii.  If you said Alaska, you are correct.

Easterly - If you said anything in the lower 48, you are not correct.  If you said Alaska, you are correct.

WAIT A MINUTE!  ALASKA? Most easterly? Quit pulling my leg!
Okay, time to look at a map that shows the International Date Line. You will note that the Aleutian Islands, which is part of Alaska, crosses the International Date Line. Go ahead. Argue with geography.
