Flower Quiz compatibility chart
For each of the 8 flowers, two that are easy to be with and one that may clash. A clash does not mean either side is wrong — they simply value different things.
Camellia
- Easy together Rose The Rose is another flowering tree that opens one big bloom at a time. The Camellia flowers in winter and the Rose in spring and fall, so even in the same garden you never compete for the spotlight. One shows itself to people far off, the other reaches those close by — and because you get things across differently, each of you reaches where the other can't.
- Easy together Sunflower The Sunflower also opens one big flower in a clear, bright color. Winter camellia and summer sunflower may be seasons apart, but you bloom the same way — gathering your strength into one and showing it — so you're quick to understand each other. The Sunflower, which grows from seed every year, brings a fresh breeze to the Camellia.
- May clash Lily of the Valley The Lily of the Valley lines up many small flowers facing downward and blooms quietly in the shade of its leaves. It's the opposite of the Camellia, with its single bold bloom, in both how it flowers and how it shows itself. The Camellia's way of saying things can sound strong to the Lily of the Valley, and the Lily of the Valley's way can sound roundabout to the Camellia.
Sunflower
- Easy together Lotus The Lotus also opens one big flower in summer and sends up new leaves every year. The Sunflower shows itself to people far off, the Lotus reaches those nearby. Because you get things across differently, you can spend the same summer side by side without competing.
- Easy together Camellia The Camellia is a flowering tree that opens one big, bold flower in winter. The way the Camellia has thickened its branches year after year shows the Sunflower, who starts from scratch every year, the strength that comes from keeping at something.
- May clash Lavender Lavender strings small flowers along slender spikes and gives off its scent only to those who come close. To the Sunflower, who picks one thing and shows it straight on, Lavender's way of moving things along looks slow, and to Lavender, the Sunflower's drive can seem sudden.
Rose
- Easy together Camellia The Camellia and the Rose are both flowering trees that take years to grow. When it comes to care and building things up, neither of you begrudges the time it takes, so you understand each other without explaining.
- Easy together Lotus The Lotus also opens big flowers and draws people in with scent. The sight of the Lotus sending up new leaves from the mud every year shows the Rose, who treasures what it's built, how freeing it can be to start fresh.
- May clash Cosmos The Cosmos grows from seed every year and sways its many flowers in color. Both in how it blooms and how it grows, it's the reverse of the Rose, who polishes one thing over years. To the Rose, the Cosmos's lightness can look unsettled; to the Cosmos, the Rose's attention to detail can look heavy.
Lotus
- Easy together Sunflower The Sunflower also opens one big flower in summer and grows anew every year. Where the Lotus welcomes those nearby, the Sunflower lets people far away know too, in a way they can see.
- Easy together Rose Like you, the Rose opens big, fragrant flowers and treats those who come close. You're both at your best seen up close rather than from afar, so you're comfortable with the same distance when you talk.
- May clash Hydrangea The Hydrangea gathers small flowers to show off in color, spreading wider year by year. In every way, it's the reverse of the Lotus and its single, quietly fragrant flower that starts fresh each year. To the Lotus, the Hydrangea's spreading out looks busy; to the Hydrangea, the Lotus's fresh starts look like a waste.
Hydrangea
- Easy together Lavender Lavender is another low shrub that covers itself in small flowers. The Hydrangea pulls things together into a form clear at a glance, Lavender quietly reaches those nearby — different ways of getting things across that bring out the best in each other side by side. You both value building up over the years, so you agree on how to move things along.
- Easy together Cosmos The Cosmos also shows off lots of flowers in color. The lightness of the Cosmos, which grows from seed every year, reminds the Hydrangea, with so much kept going, how fun it is to start something new.
- May clash Lotus The Lotus opens one big flower fresh from the mud each year and draws people in with scent. It's the opposite of the Hydrangea, who gathers small flowers, spreads year by year and shows itself in color, in how it blooms, how it draws people and how it grows — so it's hard to see what the other one values.
Cosmos
- Easy together Lily of the Valley The Lily of the Valley also opens many small flowers and sends up new shoots every year. The Cosmos shows itself far and wide, the Lily of the Valley quietly reaches those nearby — different ways of getting things across that bring out each other's charm side by side.
- Easy together Hydrangea The Hydrangea is another flower that gathers lots of small blooms and shows them off in color. You both enjoy having many things lined up, so neither of you minds a busy calendar.
- May clash Rose While the Rose spends years perfecting a single flower, the Cosmos blooms with different flowers every year. The way you use time is completely opposite, so when deciding something together, you tend to split over how much preparation is needed.
Lavender
- Easy together Hydrangea The Hydrangea is another flowering shrub that gathers small flowers. You both bloom in early summer, so your best seasons are close too. Where Lavender quietly gets things across, the Hydrangea pulls them together into a shape everyone can see.
- Easy together Lily of the Valley The Lily of the Valley also lines up many small flowers and gives off its scent to those who come close. The Lily of the Valley, which starts fresh every year, shows Lavender, who treasures building up, how freeing a fresh start can be.
- May clash Sunflower The Sunflower opens one big summer flower in a color you can see from far away. It's the opposite of Lavender — small, quiet, building up year after year — in every way. The Sunflower's directness can feel strong to Lavender, and Lavender's restraint can be hard for the Sunflower to see.
Lily of the Valley
- Easy together Cosmos The Cosmos also opens many flowers and grows from seed every year. What the Lily of the Valley quietly brings to the people beside it, the Cosmos spreads out where people far away can see it too.
- Easy together Lavender Lavender also opens many small flowers and gives off its scent only to those who come close. You both pile up small kindnesses where they don't show, so you notice what the other has done for you without a word being said.
- May clash Camellia Where the Camellia keeps one bold flower blooming all through winter, the Lily of the Valley comes up small in the shade of its leaves, starting over every year. One builds up and shows itself, the other starts fresh and quietly reaches out, so you put different things first and tend to disagree in discussions.
