Sometimes you can be TOO familiar with English. For example, I saw PATE and thought, OK, so either a spread usually made of ground liver or a bald head. Since there were no groups similar to either, I wondered if there was another definition that would put it in a different category. But I didn't stop to think about how they'd be spelled differently.
That was rather sneaky of them to include MUM, POPPY, IRIS, and ROSE in different categories.
Whenever something is that obvious I assume it's wrong. Though I did briefly consider whether CONE (for echinacea) might belong in that group. But they usually don't use words that are slightly off. CONE would have to be followed by "flower," but the others are the names of flowers that don't use the word.
