A great looking evergreen = fine pine. Hink Pinks are silly rhyming pairs which can be used as answers to riddles. To any given riddles, there might be more than one correct answer. The whole idea of hink pinks is to use your own imagination in trying to find words that rhyme together. So, in future we suggest that you try to figure out the answer yourself. Hink pinks are fun to make as illustrated by the following web-site:

Here you can read about the flora in the Daintree Rainforest, Australia: http://www.daintreerainforest.com/flora.html. They say on this site, that the Daintree rainforest is home to one of the highest populations of primitive flowering plants in the world. These ancient plant families may hold secrets to a number of unanswered questions regarding the origins of the flowering plants - plants on which the human race depends for food and medicines.

All participating libraries follow the questions coming in, bigger ones check every day the answering application, smaller ones get automatically an email when a question…
