Did you know?
- The yellow parts of its flowers are not petals but sepals, because the plant has no petals.
- Its seed pods open and float, so streams and floods carry the seeds to new places.
Could you guess it from clues?
WildGuessr picks a secret animal, plant, fungus, stone, prehistoric creature or space object and you ask yes-or-no questions about it, such as its group or where it grows. The fewer clues you need, the more points you score.
