Name that Plant Winners and Plants
This page has all the contest winners and the previous plants used along with the correct scientific name and also a common name. The previous month’s plants are usually posted just after the new plants are posted on the main page. This will be especially helpful for those who are using this contest as a learning tool. All photos were taken by Richard & Teresa Ware unless otherwise noted. Please visit the main “Name That Plant” page and get your guesses in now! Click here to go to main page
