About this word search

Many flower names describe something. Foxglove refers to the glove-like shape of its flowers, and Snapdragon to the way the flower opens like a mouth when gently squeezed. Honeysuckle is named for its sweet nectar.

Other names honour people. The Dahlia is named after the Swedish botanist Anders Dahl, and the Magnolia after the French botanist Pierre Magnol.

Eighteen squares a side and every direction in play. Start with Chrysanthemum, the longest. Then look for the W in Wisteria and Cornflower, and the double L in Hollyhock. Pansy and Peony are short and look alike, so take care.
