Lol I did horribly, but I’m not surprised. I’m not good at identifying some of the rarer species, especially if they aren't cold hardy. I have a lot to learn lol.

4/10 :blink: If I grow them, I know them. If I don't grow them I don't know them. :blush: Strangely, though I grow over 300 species of palms, NONE of the choices for all 10 photos are palms I grow.

You got me :P

@Kim: I know exactly what you mean. When thinking you know quite some species it’s always a bit frustrating when seeing palms on television or photos that you can’t determine for sure. I have the same feeling when another palmfreak sends photos from Brasil. So many species that I just don’t recognize straight away. Even if I have some but in still in a juvenile stage. « what are you supposed to become again » afger a few years with non devided juvenile leaves only :lol:

That was the exact raison of making this little quizz. Lovely to see how we like to hold on the names we know and the otherway round to see the wide variety of genera and species which can sometime be quite ressembling. It wasn’t easy at all to find all the species for this quizz and to create something not to hard but not the cheesy neither. ^_^

Hope you enjoyed playing both and maybe another one next time. Thinking about seed-recognition but working first on the entire translation to English of my website.

Nice quiz - I liked it even though I didn't guess very well!  6 of 10 and then 7 of 10.  I like your idea of the seed recognition one - there are some cool looking seeds in the palm world in addition to the palms themselves!
