Title: Riddle of the Day: Flowers Post by: Shin on June 17, 2010, 11:01:16 AM Inscribe an M above a line, then write an E below.
The flower you seek is hung so fine, it sways when breezes blow. What is the answer to this riddle? anemone, the windflower. This can be a toughie unless you know your flower species! Or, perhaps, if you know a little about undersea life! That's the end of my hints! :D Title: Re: Riddle of the Day: Flowers Post by: Patricia on June 17, 2010, 11:03:48 AM Lotus?
Title: Re: Riddle of the Day: Flowers Post by: Shin on June 17, 2010, 11:07:17 AM Lotus? Ooo, you took the hint the wrong way. :) I wonder if it will mislead others too? Not quite, no! :happyroll: :flower: As always, if you give in, there it is, in invisible ink! Title: Re: Riddle of the Day: Flowers Post by: Patricia on June 17, 2010, 11:12:07 AM Shin, after this one, (and I know I'll lose and surrender soon :biggrin:), I'm going to find a real difficult riddle for you.

Heheheheh! You do that! And I'll hold out and not give in quickly like I usually do! O:) Title: Re: Riddle of the Day: Flowers Post by: Brigid on June 17, 2010, 06:48:47 PM This is a really hard one, Shin! :confuzed:
Title: Re: Riddle of the Day: Flowers Post by: Shin on June 17, 2010, 06:53:00 PM This is a really hard one, Shin! :confuzed: Well I didn't get it! Here's another hint! Think about what it describes, visually, then describe that with words! Title: Re: Riddle of the Day: Flowers Post by: Brigid on June 17, 2010, 06:57:15 PM Patricia, I peaked - I knew I'd never get it. Then after I peaked I felt so dumb for not thinking of it before I looked. I still don't see how the riddle fits it though, but the clue should have told me. :-[ Just think of Jacque Cousteau's underwater movies.
Title: Re: Riddle of the Day: Flowers Post by: Patricia on June 18, 2010, 06:26:31 PM anemone?
