I must say I like "Marigolds". So obvious, once pointed out, but the last one to be found.

Thank you all so much, the questions are so easy once you know the answers!!!

The only answer i am not sure about is biennial or maybe i am not looking at it correctly, too many senior moments these days.

Thanks again

Penwise - I'm not totally happy with "Biennial" myself, hence the question mark.

Yes I had thought that was the case, but it might jolt someone else to thinking of something different, thanks again
