I think I know a few:
1 - C
2 - A maybe? Just sounds like it should be field if it isn't but I don't
know why.
3 - E
4 - don't have a clue, but only F is left if the other guesses are right.
5 - D maybe? Pratensis makes me think of a prarire or meadow.
6 - as in crocus? maybe B?

Margaret gets the prize for the first correct answer! Karen also got them
all correct. Now, what shall the prize be? How about a virtual wreath of
laurels to wear for the day?
