About this word search

Several of these names have a history. Gladiolus comes from the Latin for small sword, after the shape of its leaves. Bouquet comes from French, and Chrysanthemum from Greek words for gold and flower. Older children who enjoy that kind of thing can look up where Wisteria got its name.

Chrysanthemum is the longest word here and a good place to begin, since names in this eighteen by eighteen grid can run in reverse and on slants as well as straight. After that, look for the less common letters: the Q in Bouquet, the W in Wisteria and Snowdrop, and the double L in Hollyhock and Bluebell.

Keen gardeners can sort the list by season, with Snowdrop and Primrose early in spring and Dahlia and Marigold late in summer.
