Here we go again!
Copy and paste any unsolved puzzles here.
Come on all! Have a go! No judgments here so put in an answer, no matter how obscure!
Use dictionary, thesaurus, experience, left over brain matter and Google for your answers.
More fun here than having your legs waxed!

Gee thanks mum. I mean Stake! Bottle's not empty yet.
When you see heaps of typos it's time for bed!
My wine is not burnt but - it's an Ash?
Steve
CT - Since i'm going to see Neil Young tomorrow night it must be:
Hippiyoungus, Crosbyensis, Stillsonaea, hendrixensis, cannedheatus etc
Well done CT

Hippeastrum?
As in strum a guitar?
Steve

Actually it's "Claret Ash" but that's near enough.

One for bed.
Don't think we've had a Conifer yet!
A common name:
'Thursday in January'
Reading time. Good night.
Steve
G'Day Budgieman, I can get "Thuja" out of Thursday in January but that is the botanical name and you state Common name. Although the name is used commonly to identify this group of conifers.

Yep that would be it Stake.
I have only ever known them as Thuja. That's why common names are so difficult varying from area to area and person to person.
Be back later with a new offering.
Have a good day
Steve
A quick Australia Day offering:
'Drink this on Australia Day'
Tree. Genus only.

I think there might be at least several answers to this. "Lemonade" tree or "Tea" tree. A couple of Cha = Tea Chamelaucium and Chamaecyparis.

I think this is more likely to be the drink of choice. a tree. it's latin name is also it's common name here.
'water goes before the fossil from the tree'
Jean.
Jean,
Same answer, different puzzle.
Your clue is more inventive than mine.
Let's leave it for the others.
Stake - think Australia Day, BBQ, a few friends.
Cheers
Steve
G'Day, Is this one "Liquid Amber"?

Budgieman I assume your drink of choice would be Beer which is commonly called "The Amber Fluid" or at least it is here.
Regards
you are too smart for me Brian. Now I have to think again. Sorry Steve , but I didn't know yours was the same .
This is a shrub...usually known by the same name whether common or latin.
' pesky plant eaters are miserly'
Jean
Is that mostly either T. saxicola or "Paynes Hybrid"?

See if this can hold you all up a bit "Riders Headware precedes Miss Marlene". Probably a bit unfair for you young ladies but Budgieman should be OK.
Regards Brian
Sorry Brian where was that post, I can't seem to find it .
re. your new puzzle. I can see helmet and maybe Dietrich but will have to think on a connection to a plant.

I didn't answer directly so others could have a go at it.
Brian
Another to have a go at. "A container for scrubbing implements" a ornamental tree.
An easy one for you "This should be in the bait container" a prostrate plant.
Brian
Sorry Brian , a granny moment.
It is in my garden book as T.saxicola, with 'Paynes Hybrid' as the most seen cultivar.
My brain has not warmed up yet so I'll think on the new puzzles.
Here's one for you. a large tree not a native but widely grown. very pretty.
'french underground with a team and half a flower is noble'
Jean, Mediterranean maquis AKA Laurus nobilis AKA Bay Tree
>"This should be in the bait container"
Brian, I'm guessing a shrimp plant would be too obvious an answer?

Sorry gardengal . No. this beauty lives much closer than the Mediterranean .
Brian. Crab cactus ?

Helmet Lily Cobra plant riders hat= helmet and Lily Marlene
Budgie had the wrong Marlene.
CT is very close in fact it might be an alternative name.
The bait box one says a Mollusc and you can eat them.
A container for scrubbing implements. The plant is a native tree to 60ft tall.
Regards Brian
Ahhhh ...... a brush box?
...... and an oyster plant?

Brush Box
Lophostemon confertus
(just looked out the window and there was the answer)
Steve
I can see already that oyster plant is wrong, will wrack the brain a little more.
Should keep you busy for 5 min
"Part of an aquatic animal in the garden?'
All i'll say is that it can become 'weedlike'
Cheers
Steve
