Episode 6’s main connection was “flower.” Below you can read all the answers that have to do with flour.
OPEN
A flower opens when it blooms.
RAMEN
Because many houses nowadays have double glazing, you hardly see them anymore: ice flowers. They occur on windows when it is freezing outside and the humidity inside is high. When that air comes into contact with the cold window, water vapor is created that condenses on the window as ice. This often happens in a place where the window already had a scratch or speck of dust. The ‘flower’ continues to grow from the crystal that is formed there.

TO HANG
If flowers do not get enough nutrition, their heads will droop. The trick to keeping flowers beautiful for longer is to cut them diagonally with a knife and change the water regularly.
CURTAIN
Flowers are a popular motif for curtains. And anyone who likes carnival knows the answer to this question: “Do you know what I would like to be…?” That’s right, a floral curtain.
WATER
You have to put a bunch of flowers in the water.
HE WAS
The Netherlands is a flower bulb country par excellence: it is estimated that we produce around 8.5 billion flower bulbs per year. Tourists from all over the world come to the Netherlands in the spring to visit the Bulb Region.
VANILLA
The vanilla flavor comes from the vanilla orchid, a flower. The flower of the vanilla orchid is different from most flowers: it contains no nectar, which makes growing vanilla very difficult, which is why it is so expensive. By the way, it works in nature: the bees are attracted to the smell and search in vain for nectar in the flower, which means that pollen still sticks to the body.
ICE
The ice flower is a flowering plant belonging to the ice herb family. Ice crystals can also form on surfaces such as car roofs and windows during freezing temperatures, which are called ice flowers because of their shape.
LOO
In the 17th century, Stadtholder William III of Orange and his English wife, Queen Mary, had a large symmetrical garden full of flowers built behind Het Loo Palace, because Mary loved flowers. Nowadays this garden, ‘Mary’s flower garden’, can still be visited.
PRINCESS
In 1945, as a thank you for her stay in Ottawa during the Second World War, Princess Juliana donated 100,000 tulip bulbs to Canada and promised to send another 10,000 bulbs every year. Canada gratefully brought the tulip bulbs to bloom and has organized the annual ‘Canadian Tulip Festival’ since 1953, which, with more than 3 million tulips, is the largest tulip festival in the world.
FLORIS
Floris is a boy’s name, derived from Flora, the Roman goddess of flowers.
