Geocache Description:


Always good to learn the Botanical names of plants so this cache will help educate you in that area.  As an added bonus you will find some very nice art work nearby to look at.

At the posted coordinate you will find (hopefully) a white box mounted on a pole with a bunch of buttons on one side with names.  All that you need to do is enter the plant names listed below in the proper order to open the container.  Once you have entered the proper plants in the correct order you will have 4 seconds to open the door.

Each press of a button will give you a beep and a YELLOW LED flash.  After entering the correct set of plants you will  get a beep and a GREEN LED to know you have it correct.  If you get a triple beep and a flashing YELLOW LED that means that wrong entry so start over.  After 3 wrong entries the electronics will shut down for 60 seconds so you will need to wait to re-enter.

 

Oh yeah!  One little catch.  You will need to  decipher  the Bontanical name of these plants to their English name as the buttons on the box will be listed with their English name, not their Botanical name.  Fun hey!

DO NOT USE ANY TOOLS OR FORCE ON THE DOOR!!!!  YOUR HANDS IS ALL THAT IS NEEDED.  THANK YOU.
