The nervous action is probably 'tic' but my brain is not working this afternoon for the first half.... time for tea!

A nervous action (ie anagram) would give Ravenous which fits Hungry but has nothing to do with flowers and plants!

Hey thats well thought out - but as you say what can be connection with flowers or plants - thanks for reply

jane Is it true that you only want part of the answer to be associated with the theme "flowers and plants"?

If so, is there any mileage in AVENS with RAVENOUS?

By the way, well spotted kayakamina!

Hi, The heading on the quiz sheet is Flowers and Plants and the other 69 questions have been quite straightforward, this last one reads as above Hungry,nervous action, I cant make much of it myself.Thanks for your reply.

Hi Jane,

I keep coming back to Convolvulus,( a trailing plant ).

Convulse...( to affect by spasms ) but can't see where the Hungry fits in.I'll be having nervous actions myself if I carry on much longer with it. Good Luck.

Val.
