1. I have strong-smelling, yellow flowers. I am easily propogated by my large black seeds. I provide long-lasting cut flowers. In Mexico, I am known as la flor de muerto, the flower of death. And an ancient legend says that I am the flower that the Virgin Mary wore to symbolise the warm glow that radiated around her head. Do you know what I am?
  Narcissus
  Goldenrod
  Marigold
 
2. I am well known for my (usually) yellow-flowered presence that blossoms in spring gardens. I flower well under practically all conditions except deep shade. All of my species, well over 30 of them, are covered with sumptuous, pea-like, often fragrant flowers. I can grow as tall as 15 feet.
  Broom
  Sweet pea
  Goldenrod
 
3. I am a silvery evergreen tree with open spreading branches. My blue-green leaves have an incredibly fresh scent and my creamy-pale bark sheds annually in late summer. I can tolerate extremely dry weather, I love the sun and I am found mainly in Australia.
  Cypress
  Eucalyptus
  Pine
 
4. I am a vigorous, woody climber that grows deep green divided leaves. I bloom clusters of fragrant white or yellow flowers from summer to early autumn. (I'll even bloom during the winter if you keep me as an indoor plant). You might recognise me because of a spice tea that shares my name.
