That's amazing - I did a search, too - it always came up with "Granny's Bonnet"!
"Aquilegia vulgaris Grandmother's Garden Common Name: Columbine or Granny's Bonnet"
"Aquilegia Dorothy Rose Common Name: Columbine or Granny's Bonnet"
Ah well - looks like they all disagree on the name for that plant.

Pansy is not valid - no 'juggling' of letters, the name of the animal has to be spelt within the plant name. I thought that was a clever answer oh well I'll have to come up with something else ;D

Aarrrggghh - and there's no botanical garden anywhere near where I live...
12 of these are fine, only: Ponytail – used already Ageratum purple – common name is “Flossflower” Artic Summer – I suppose you mean “tick” (as in horrible little things that suck the blood of mammals...) since I couldn’t find an animal called “tic”. Therefore, Arctic can't be accepted as containing an animal name.
Veilchenblau Rambler Rose is accepted - but no more "rambler roses" will be accepted as "ram" from now on.

I have done a search and it appears the spelling Tic is also used . Here are four seperate examples of the word "TIC" "Garlic is widely renowned for repelling fleas, tics and worms" "The dogs scratch like they are eat up with fleas and tics." "Tics – Tics can carry Lhyme’s disease and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever; the latter is fatal and the former is debilitating ! "It may be a small thing like a tic, which the vet can explain " So I guess there are two spellings.

According to "Answers.com"
Tic A brief and intermittent involuntary movement or sound
The noun tic has one meaning: Meaning #1: a local and habitual twitching especially in the face
tick2 (tĭk) n. Any of numerous small bloodsucking parasitic arachnids of the family Ixodidae, many of which transmit febrile diseases, such as Rocky Mountain spotted fever and Lyme disease. Any of various usually wingless, louselike insects of the family Hippobosciddae that are parasitic on sheep, goats, and other animals
I also checked in my dictionaries, all come up only with tic meaning something like a brief and intermittent involuntary movement or sound.
Therefore, I'm afraid I stick with it - 'tic' is not an animal. (Quotes may contain typing errors...)
