3. Sounds a bit like a writer on a stalk (9)
4. We follow reptile (6)

Help: I don’t even know where my garden is at the moment, never mind this sort of quizz, Nym. I hope there are some here who are rather more knowledgeable.
It’s only a bit of fun. I’ve been essay writing and ironing and I needed something lighter before bed!
4 = crocus 🙂
Hello Pseu! I am no good at anything remotely crypic, especially on Thursday nights; house in tatters, brain in melt down etc etc…
Our garden is like something you would not believe. You actually can’t see the lawn any more… 😉
Correct Brendano.
Come on Claire, you can get one I’m sure
6 = dandelion
Pseu; my husband often says; ‘J’ai les pieds en compote..’ when he’s feeling particularly knackered. Well; ‘J’ai la tête en compote…’ 😉
Brendano; get you! Don’t go btw 😉
Thanks, Claire … see you next time. 🙂
Ah, Nym: I still can’t come close to sussing this out. I’ll do your ironing for you! 🙂
4- Heartsease
2- St John’s Wort
1- Dragonsbite
1. snapdragon = antirrhinum
Nice one Pseu
I’m an avid DT crossword filler-inner, clues such as these drive me nuts, I normally get the answer because I have the other letters. In question 4 for example I’d have something like;
– R – C – S
It’s when the answer I’m looking for is a ‘village in Cornwall’ or ‘peak in Wales’ that I really tear my hair out!
😦
3- Penstemmon
More trivia: The Dandelion owes its name to its jagged leaves which resemble, supposedly, lion’s teeth. – Dents de lion.
