25 Jersey Lily
43 Lotus

64 Waitrose?

71 Yarrow...

BTW its a fallacy that nasturtium seeds are pickled as capers... they actually come from a different plant the Caper plant and nasturtiums are done the same way

[Valanne]

25 Arum Lily
58 Crocus
90 Lilacs

[rowanwitch]

lily langtry was known as the Jersey lily...

[Valanne]

I know, but it says "a strange Miss Langtry"
A strange = a rum, Miss Langtry is the Lily.

75 Pink

[Yammie1973]

Hi, just and extra one for you?

66. Do they live in seaside rock pools?

[Yammie1973]

Hi Gen2, how do you get pink for no. 75?

[Valanne]

64 Could be Aster (sounds like Asda!)

[WAZZARD]

there a supermarket chain called Cactus in Luxemburg

[WAZZARD]

According to Wikipeadia

[Valanne]

To pink means to knock, as in what happens when a car backfires.

[WAZZARD]

pink is right for 75 . It's called pinking - Don't hear it much nowadays but it used to be common years ago

[WAZZARD]

No it's not the same as back firing or knocking. If youv'e ever heard it, it sounds more like something loose under the bonnet

[WAZZARD]

could 66 be Anemone - like sea anemone

[WAZZARD]

90 lillacs from the show Perchance to Dream - we'll gather lillacs in the spring again - nice song

[gen2]

66 could also be periwinkle

pink/pinking as explained by Valanne & Wazzard

I'll go along with aster/Asda as well

I make that just no 82 still to get.
