If I'd taken a little longer & thought in terms of flowers, I'm sure I would've gotten some of them. Great, though! Made me think.
4 out of 5. Fun! Thanks.
Good one Got 4 out of five
A refreshing teaser. I easily got the first four. Never figured out orchid but spent a long time on it. When I saw the answer I felt exactly like ceeyaa.
I loved your concept and topic. Please keep writing teasers like this one. Thanks a lot!

Whewee! I did it! I got them!!
I didn't know what foppish was either, but I decided to let myself look it up -- dictionary.com, not thesaurus.com, so I didn't feel like I was cheating.
I almost gave up on #5... but I had half of it, the kid part, and I knew I had to just keep thinking about it.... and I thought, and thought... "indicates an alternative" -- choice? selection? hmm... alternative... this OR-- aha aha aha.
Anyways, this little schpiel from my head was brought to you by the letter Q.

awesome teaser! I got all but the last one! nice job.
Love it!
I also had trouble with orchid. But it was a great teaser and I had fun trying to do it. More please?
4 outta 5 fer me. stupid dandelion i didnt even think of lion. oh well. i'll get over it. stupendous teaser though
this was fun and i got 4 out of 5
i didn't think of or but i got kid. does that mean i got 4.5 guess not
i didn't know what foppish meant (and was too lazy to look it up) but i got the rest. my fav was number 5
very nice!
Fun! Got all except Orchid...even said "Kid" out loud to myself but didn't give it enough time to "blossom" into an answer! Thanks for the fun!
Very EZ,but interesting.
AWESOME RIDDLE/TEASER!!!
EZ PZ but a lot of fun! Nice job!
Mostly easy ones, but dandy-lion got me. Just could not think of a lion. Puma, lynx, panther, tiger and a host of others came to mind, but not lion.
The first 4 I got immediately; the 5th I had to mull over for a moment and then got it! Thanks for the teaser!
I loved this one. I got them all but the last one. I got the kid part, but got hung up on "other" instead of "or" Really enjoyed it though.
Nice riddle! I only managed to get 1 and 5.
Eh, no ones counting, right?

Was really good teaser. Pretty easy, but that is not always a bad thing.

Liked it and it was fun. Helped that I got them all too.
Fun and entertaining teaser; I got all them very quickly.
Easy teasy. Also fun and clever. Dandelion made me literally laugh out loud. Very enjoyable!
I sure liked this teaser!
