A-Z Challenge - Flowers

Re: A-Z Challenge - Flowers

No-one going to post a Zinnea picture for us?

Unfortunately I don't have one - I don't have a zephyr flower (a lily with 5 stamens also known as a rain lily), or a zebra plant either!

Re: A-Z Challenge - Flowers

We said earlier in the game that we might tidy the rules since the game is running quite well. Will this do?

The alphabet game rules:

The 'curator' starts a new thread, posts a copy of these rules and selects a topic.

A player (or curator) posts a picture on the topic, the subject of which starts with letter "A"

Next player can follow with subject starting with letter "B" etc etc

You can only post one picture at a time so you can't do "B" and "C".

Can be an old pic from your archives or a new pic for the purpose of the race but make it a good one

The curator is at liberty to skip a letter or post creatively if the game gets stuck on a difficult letter.

The player who posts the picture starting with letter "Z" becomes the curator of the next game.

Pity the person who's got "x", not much choice!

No problems - X for Xanthoria
Not exactly a flower but lichen encrusted branches are often used in flower arranging I'm told
