About this word search

Magnolias are so old that they were around before bees, and their sturdy flowers are pollinated mostly by beetles. The Marigold has its big moment in early November, when bright orange heaps of it decorate Day of the Dead altars in Mexico and across the US.

The eighteen-row grid hides words in every direction, backwards as well. Chrysanthemum is the giant here, and Forget-me-not becomes one long string without its hyphens. Short names like Pansy and Peony are where most people get stuck.

Older students who garden can sort the list by season, from Snowdrop in late winter to Chrysanthemum in the fall. Wisteria is named after Caspar Wistar, a doctor from Philadelphia, which makes a good trivia question to end on.
