Thanks gen2. This has helped considerably.
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
25 Arum Lily
58 Crocus
90 Lilacs
lily langtry was known as the Jersey lily...
I know, but it says "a strange Miss Langtry"
A strange = a rum, Miss Langtry is the Lily.

75 Pink
Question Author
Hi, just and extra one for you?

66. Do they live in seaside rock pools?
Question Author
Hi Gen2, how do you get pink for no. 75?
64 Could be Aster (sounds like Asda!)
there a supermarket chain called Cactus in Luxemburg
According to Wikipeadia
To pink means to knock, as in what happens when a car backfires.
pink is right for 75 . It's called pinking - Don't hear it much nowadays but it used to be common years ago
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
could 66 be Anemone - like sea anemone
90 lillacs from the show Perchance to Dream - we'll gather lillacs in the spring again - nice song
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.
