It is indeed a bulrush, or alternately a reedmace. And that looks an awful lot like a waterlily to me.

please accept acorn for the picture you have listed as oak since what you picture is the fruit from an oak tree not an oak by itself. Or call it an oak nut but most commonly known by acorn.

Instructions say to name the plant even if only a part of it is shown. The plant is oak, the acorn is part of it.

I really don't think acorn should work either. It's not a plant only the product of the plant. I don't see any difference in that clue and the maple leaf clue. They both lead you to the plant source not just the part of the plant shown in the picture

Water lily for Lily..... Bulrush for Cattail........ I'm guessing the 'Irishman' hasn't seen real Shamrock....... Ladies Lace for Queen Ann's Lace ...... otherwise good quiz.

The common name "cow parsley" refers to the closely related species anthriscus sylvestris, whereas the species pictured is daucus carota, or the "wild carrot." Both species are occasionally referred to as "Queen Anne's lace," however only the first is referred to as "cow parsley" at least according to wikipedia. Flowers in the apiaceae family often look very similar to one another, which can be dangerous since many species are edible (like the carrot) and many are poisonous (like poison hemlock). Here in North America there is also a very similar looking species called "cow parsnip" (heracleum maximum) which is poisonous to the touch, causing severe blisters after exposure to sunlight.

Technically, Kelp is not a plant. It is a protist (an algae). So, probably shouldn't be on this quiz with "plant" right there in the title. Glad to get the point for it, but still.

Curtain fig is one particular example of strangler fig (I used to live 5 minutes from it) on the Atherton Tablelands, it's not the name for the trees in general.

Kelp is not a plant, it is a protist more closely related to algae. Not in the same kingdom as plants.

Also, Bulrush is a Juncus species, so a proper rush related to the grasses and sedges. Cattails (Typha spp.) are forbs, monocots not closely related to the grasses, sedges and rushes. The picture is correctly identified as a cattail.

Apparently Queen Ann's lace can refer to two plants, one of which is also known as cow parsley (as some have pointed out above). I guess whether or not cow parsley is allowed depends on which plant is shown... any ideas?

Carrot or wild carrot should be accepted for Queen Anne's lace. I believe the name "Queen Anne's lace" is only used in North America.
