OK, I put arrows on the pic to clear that up. :wink:

You got 19 correct out of 20. :?
The last one I don't identify as a cactus. Nobody is perfect. :wink:

@Daiv
Maybe you could make part 2 of this quiz. Choose the right Latain name of the shown plant between 3 possibilities. :wink:

Ralf, I would get like 0-20 for that one. I am bad at the Latin Names.. esp since a lot of them are actually in Greek :shock:
(edit) re-did the quiz and on the 2nd try I got all 20 right! Woo Hoo!

BTW I really didn't have them all memorized either. I actually looked at them and picked what I thought they were!
Here's to you, all you insidious creatures of green..er I mean cacti.

I got 17/20. All three wrong answers I fat fingered. I looked at my wrong answers and said that's not what I picked! Oh, well, apparently I did.

Great quiz, thanks for the entertainment!

Apparently if I do not know what it is - means not a cactus :)

Well i did ok 15 out of 20. Number 5 was confusing though I looked at it and said "that's a tree... Trees aren't cacti" maybe I just couldn't see something on my iPhone

Neat quiz. I'm not counting #5 since I accidently saw the answer first, so that makes 17/19. I got caught out on a couple of the lookalikes, including the gymnocalyciodes which I instantly passed as 'one of the easy ones'. :roll:
