A Stargazer is an example of what kind of flower?

• A. Tulip
• B. Lily
• C. Rose
• D. Orchid

Answer: (B)

This question tests recognizing flower classifications by familiar cultivar names. Stargazer is a well-known lily hybrid, so it belongs to the lily family (genus Lilium). Lilies are typically tall plants with large trumpet-shaped blooms, and Stargazer lilies are famous for their striking pink petals and fragrance. They are not tulips, which have cup-shaped blooms from a different classification, nor roses, which have many petals and woody stems, nor orchids, which come from a distinct family with very different flower structure. So the flower type most fitting for Stargazer is Lily.
