Things In Common Redux

Not at all, glimarg, I am not the only member playing this game! I can only speak for myself. But so far as I am concerned I'll offer my last reply which is that I believe that they ALL belong to the IRIDACEAE family.

No it's not iridaceae ! Well, that's a good word I wouldn't use very often. I certainly did not learn that at school - unless it was one of the Latin words we had to memorize and I've since forgotten!
Unfortunately, we all come from different backgrounds and have different experiences. Sorry!

In spite of myself another word crossed my mind "aromatherapy",do they all have the same therapeutic properties?

They well may, but it's not the word I was looking for.
The answer is a word which I found fascinating when I first heard it at school (it comes from the Greek - not a language I had to learn).

 

[golondrina]

It's a good job you have said it was an "easy" one.

Aroma?

 

[gilmargl]

Aroma?

No sorry! This is embarassing!
Another hint: When I was 12 or 13, in the biology lesson, we were each given a "bulb" to section and draw. Onions, daffodils, tulips, crocusses........ We learnt the classification: bulbs and corms. The third type (which we had to copy from a text book of biological diagrams) were ........? They were perhaps too complicated and diverse to draw from original specimens. A bulb and a corm have solid almost geometrical forms, but ........ go all over the place. Does that help? It's a lovely word - if you like that sort of thing!

interest?

I hope it's wrong because I'm sewing face masks and don't need something else to think about. I can get the patterns inside out, sideways and upside-down without attempting multitasking!

 

[golondrina]

glimargl, interest is right.Your turn
Good luck with your masks.

 

[gilmargl]

Good luck with your masks.

Thank you! We've already made over €200 by selling masks with dogs and cats on them. So it 's worth the effort. The money goes towards helping people on benefits to pay their vet bills. Fundraising is hard these days!

Squash?

 

[gilmargl]

Squash?

Yes! Squash - the sport I was dedicated to from late adulthood till middle age. I am now paying the price - hip, shoulder, knee - but it was well worth it!
Your turn Mia!

 

[Mia6]

hip, shoulder, knee - but it was well worth it!

Oh, no yikes!

I'll need to think of one, be back.
