You can choose what types of wildflowers you would like to be quizzed on, as a group. Checking a characteristic in a group means wildflowers in that group will be used for making questions. If you check a number of characteristics in one group (e.g. Petal-like Parts), wildflowers with either of those characteristics will be part of the group (not just wildflowers with both characteristics). If you check characteristics in different groups, the set of wildflowers for each separate group is found, then wildflowers that are common to all sets are used. Technically, within a group it's "characteristics OR char. OR char." and overall it's "group AND group AND group".

Yes, this all sounds confusing, but the idea is that you can choose to be tested on wildflowers that have in common two or more specific sets of characteristics from different groups. For example, if this program were for house types, there might be two groups, Number of Stories and Exterior Wall Material. You could pick the characteristic "one-story" from the first group, and "stucco" and "brick" from the second, and the group of all houses used would then be "one-story AND (either stucco OR brick)". Try it out and see.
