Sunday Puzzler: April 17

Welcome to the third of this regular Sunday post to tease you as you have your Sunday tea and toast. All you have to do is identify the plants* and take the first letter of each and arrange them to make the name of an Irish County.

Answer tomorrow.

Good luck!

* You need to use the botanical name of the genus, not a common name. This is because common names vary. But it is just the genus, nothing else:

For example

calendula2

This would be calendula, not marigold.

    Monaghan. The 7 th one got me baffled though, it looks like a Tweedia but it can’ t be. It has to be H.
