Know your flowers? With the campus in full summer bloom, DailyNews is offering readers a chance to prove their botanical bona fides with a quiz about some of the plants now in blossom.

Up for grabs is a prize package donated by the Campus Bookstore combining a framed art print of Lancer house rules and an insulated “chubby” mug:

• measuring 22 inches high by six wide, the poster retails for $49.95 and lists some helpful hints for Lancers;
• the mug boasts an extra-wide design to prevent tipping, double-wall stainless steel construction, and the UWindsor logo, with a value of $12.95.

To enter the contest, submit your response identifying the scientific names for some flowers common to the campus. The winner will be selected at random from all correct responses received by 4 p.m. Tuesday, July 30.
