Aster ...
Dandelion.
I suppose "Aster" is what you were going for -- and, yet, a case COULD be made for "4 o'clocks" which, in many ways DO "reflect thermal emissions" by opening and closing in concert with the amount of ambient light. Because, in light, the IR part of the spectrum = heat. :o)
Jean, I like the way you think! :-)
How about Compost, it has thermal emissions in it.
Well, leave it to the college student to get it first of course! My first thought was this had to be rocket science, no clue at all! =~P
i can never get these things
I was thinking 4 o'clocks also.
I hope it's the Four 0'clocks as they're one of my favorite flowers - I can send seeds for the dark pink and yellow - does anyone else have another colour they can share? Salud
Good one Curt! You know I love these things when I can figure them out - I was going to say Zinnia but that might be too far out! Salud
I have no idea
I'd have to go with the college student. She puts forth a very good argument.
I had a smart friend, so I aster, she say aster again so I did, and got the same darn reply....lol
I have no idea
I agree with aster.
So do I.
ASTER, the acronym for 'Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer', it is!
Cindy, you answered correctly seemingly at the same moment I posted this! Congratulations to you!
My congratulations to all who got it right!
Thank you, everyone, for your comments!
Keep the sunny side up!
Very clever, Curt! Congratulations, Cindy!
A great post, thanks for sharing~
Thanks for this spectacular puzzle, Curt! Now we bask in the afterglow....or, the "aster-glow." You have become the Gather equivalent of host Fred Child and composer Bruce Adolphe on their NPR program "Piano Puzzler," a special test for listeners of classical music on "Performance Today." Instead of posing musical questions regarding styles of music, categories of composers, and titles of compositions, you set the high standards of investigating great floral challenges. All the better to enjoy the growing forest of friends which you enjoy in this highly coveted space! :-)
I missed this one - fun!
It's always best to arrive very late at these, so you can SEE the answer.
