About this word search

In Australia the Chrysanthemum is the traditional Mother's Day flower, partly because it blooms in autumn here and partly because its nickname, mum, matches the occasion. Many of the other names, from Foxglove to Bluebell, come from English cottage gardens and still grow well in the cooler parts of the country.

In this eighteen by eighteen grid a name may sit upside down, back to front or on a slope. Chrysanthemum is the longest word on the sheet, and its Y and H help locate it. Forget-me-not appears without its hyphens, so look for FORGETMENOT as one unbroken line.

Gardeners might enjoy marking which of these they have grown, while students could group them by the colour of their flowers.
