[Star]

Its not the winning........:roll: its the taking part :mrgreen:.....well thats what I am sticking toooOOoooooOoo :lol:

Thanks for taking the time to do this weeks quiz, your a star and I love how you did it......:)

[Kirkie]

Well, well, well. It seems we have a closet turtle geek lurking in our midsts...

Firstly an apology. Maybe the suitability of feeder plants wasn't ideal matter for a quiz. A lot of it is based on personal experience I know so I've just gone with what I do. So please don't use it as a feeding guide, its just for fun :).

Q2 - Terrapin - Pearl River Map
Q3 - Turtle - Fly River/Pig Nosed Turtle
Q4 - Tortoise - Bowsprit Tortoise
Q5 - Turtle - Painted Wood Turtle
Q6 - Terrapin - D'Orbigny's Slider
Q7 - Tortoise - Ploughshare
Q8 - Tortoise - Parrot beaked or areolated Tortoise
Q9 - Tortoise - Parrot Beaked or aerolated Tortoise (hatchling)

Q17 - Smooth Sow Thistle - feed
Q18 - Groundsel - Dont feed
Q19 - Speedwell - Feed

There were lots of entries this week and lots of people on 17 but to cap a week in which she became a SW moderator and entirely unconnected to that in any way, BINDI is this weeks winner with 19 points.

Well done Bindi your prize is... a box Turtle! A Terrapene Carolina Putnami in fact (google it ;) )

And thanks to everyone who entered this ramshackle farce. See you next week :)

[Star]

Well done Bindi :)

I am happy with the 14/20 I got...not to bad :lol:

Looking forward to next weeks...and thanks again Kirkie, I loved it, it was great :)

[Kirkie]

Well done Kirkie it was a good topical quiz

[Bindi]

Cripes!! I'm not good at quizzes, the second time in a week I'm asking myself 'What oh what have I done!' :? :D

[ME SHELL]

Quiz looked really good Dave. Maybe next week I'll see if I can pop on and have a go. I really miss them. I would have been fine with the weeds, but not the turtle terrapin and tortoise :)

Well done Bindi :D

you don't have to set the quiz if you don't want to Bindi, as long as you give plenty notice if you don't

[purplelynn]

I am impressed that I got some right - only one plant wrong (oops) :oops:and got a bit muddled with the turtle / tortoise thing.:confused::confused:
