How far did they go? Family? Phylum?
Also can you describe the testing setup as well as the types of questions you observed?
Also any idea as to why you didn't do as you expected?

What do you mean by "random"?
Like fun facts?
Can you give an example?

Significant difference in leaf structure and shape. The scotch thistle flowers as a tuft of purple at the top (kind of like hair) while the musk thistle opens up completely
