Hollyhock likes to celebrate holidays with a little trivia giveaway.
Nothing really fancy or crazy this time. I will post a trivia question about Cinco de Mayo. Be the first to answer correctly and you will sign up separately to be in the drawing for the fabulous prize. This one will be a beautiful Mexican pinguicula. I will cover shipping if you buy me a margarita

. One question per participant. Because I only have dozen trivia questions.

Did you know that Cinco de Mayo isn't even considered to be all that much of a holiday in Mexico? Worked with a lady from Mexico once who was very perplexed by Americans making it into a big party day. She told me, in Mexico, it receives about as much attention as President's Day does here.
