5. You feel this colour when you're sad +a note It's an anagram of these letters. The last word in the clue helps

[Georgiesmum]

Thanks for your answer Quinie, but im no nearer to getting the answer. All i kept thinking of today is bluebell, but i dont think thats the answer that im after? I cant think what else it would be beginning with blue.
Maybe im just having a senior moment! lol

[quinie]

It doesn't begin with blue but you've got the correct colour. Mix these letters with a note (one letter). The answer is also the name of a musical instrument. Not a very well-known flower,Georgiesmum.Hope this helps and doesn't bug you too much-another clue there!

Great clue, quinie.
Any ideas for this one , as it nearer to your old stamping ground than mine ? (At least I presume so from your name :-))

Georgiesmum...there are only 7 possible notes...A, B, C, D, E, F, G... to add to BLUE to get a flower and an instrument

Sorry,ladyalex,I can't figure that one out at all.I'll try again later-watching the Jubilee Concert just now.
Geogiesmum,another clue Do you remember the Andrews Sisters singing"The Boogie Woogie ? Boys of company B"?
