11a Half crazy (exactly!) about aged goddess (4) G _ _ A
I presume this is GAIA (goddess) and GA(ga) is "half crazy", but is AI (or IA) exactly?

18a Production of Tosca, new? __ 2 is fantastic (5) S _ ENA
(i presume SCENA, but can't parse)

4d Showy plant: see red one ran wild in rose garden (4) S_ _ O
(If Gaia is correct then this becomes SI _ O)

26d Of use to joiners - or railway workers? (5) E _ MEN

Many thanks

11a GAEA, alt. spelling. AE, old word for 'very' (exactly) 4d SEGO, a lily. "rose garden" is an anagram of "sego ran red", but that seems a bit loose.

Remove the letters in two from tosca new and you are left with the letters of scena

26d. ELMEN, made of elm, of use to joiners?
EL = railway in US + MEN, workers

11a The parsing is GA (exactly half of GAGA) about AE (aetatis, aged)
2 down: Tropical skin disease making the afflicted pallid - not me! (11 letters- 3 words) Tried everything I can think of and cannot get it. The letters I have are MAL?E?P??TS No further indication as to length of words or breaks in the answer. Probably obvious, but no idea. Any help, please?
