About This Quiz
Flowers come in all shapes and sizes, and grow on more sorts of plant than people might realize. There are blossoms that grow on trees and buds that appear on cacti. There are flowers that you'll recognize from just about any sort of garden, such as roses and azeleas. There are wildflowers that mostly only grow unattended in meadows, and bring beauty and joy to hillwalkers and adventurers. There are flowers that are poisonous, such as laburnum and foxglove, which both can make you quite sick. There are flowers that are edible and can be included in a salad! There are even some plants whose flowers are carnivorous, such as the Venus flytrap, which "eats" bugs by catching them and dissolving them to take the goodness from them.
Just as flowers are all different, so too are marriages. Some marriages make sense to everyone at a glance; they're two people who are just obviously compatible. Some are like a safe bubble where both halves find each other and enjoy feeling safe from the wider world. Some are tempestuous, places that are full of constant battling, but they work for the people in them. All of them could find a flower that matches their temperament. Let's find yours!
