Well picked up Gardengal

Genus "Suez port before I Hesitate"
Species "Order of the British Empire precedes a Total"
= Adenium obesum (Desert Rose)
Another well thought out puzzle Stake.

Cheers
Steve

Well done both of you. I don't know what happened but about mid afternoon I told Gardengal that she was right and had done a good job. Must have got lost in the Ether.
Brian

This should be fairly simple.
Genus - Atomic number 5 in Australia
Species - Very large mark of disgrace
Cheers

Boronia megastigma "Brown Boronia"
No one's had a go at these yet so I brought them down.
Some more fun when you have time.
These are jumbled potting materials.
1/ Cimluterive
2/ Tierlep
3/ Studwas
4/ Stopmoc
5/ Dans
6/ Prabkine (2 words)
7/ Soapstem "
8/ Gampssomnus "

Brian

Hi all.
Spot on Stake! Love the Boronia scents but they are a little tender for my no fuss gardening style.
Have started the jumble. Correct me if i'm wrong.
1/ Vermiculite
2/ Pearlite (clue missing an 'A' ?)
3/ Studwas ?
4/ Compost
5/ Sand
6/ Pine Bark
7/ Soapstem ?
8/ Sphagnum Moss (clue missing an 'H'?)
9/ Coir
10/ Gagesabs ?
So three to go?
Cheers
Steve

OK so far Budgieman but there is no "A" in Perlite.
Brian

American Dictionaries!
Hard to trust Google because anyone can post and it's not scrutinised.
So the American Version has an "A" but the good old Aussie version does not.
7/ Peat Moss

While I'm trying to complete Stake's offering.... try this!
This one is termed a climber.
Genus - An imaginary large, ugly and frightening beast.
Species - Is tasty in fruit salad
Cheers
Steve

Is it Dragon Fruit?
Brian

No Brian.
But a dragon is one!
Steve

I'll keep thinking then. One for you to ponder.
Genus. "two coppers and almost a young lady."
Species. "Took a seat with four of this group" Annual salad veg.
Brian

How about "Monsteria deliciosa"?
An easy one for someone to have a go at. "Buddy precedes pig's shin" common name of a flower.

Hey Stake. Another goody.

Looking at the two coppers now.

These have been up long enough, so here's the missing three.
1/ Vermiculite
2/ Pearlite (clue missing an 'A' ?)
3/ Studwas ?
4/ Compost
5/ Sand
6/ Pine Bark
7/ Soapstem ?

3/ Studwas = Sawdust
7/ Soapsatem = Peat Moss
10/ Gagesabs = Baggasse
Brian

Stake - got the peat moss earlier, sawdust I am kicking myself and baggasse I will need to look up.
(learning)
On yours - let me know if I am on track or way off.
Two coppers - dunno (two police or two pennies or brass)
Almost a young lady - lass
Took a seat - sat
With four - dunno yet
Of this group - these

G'Day. Copper the metal, unmarried but not complete, sat yes & it's my group.
Baggasse is the refuse from sugar mills and used much like Coir.
Brian

Stake,
A lot of thought went into this one.
Cucumis sativus = Cucumber
Two coppers = Cucu
Almost a young lady = mis
Took a seat = sat
With four = iv
Of this group = us
Well done and thanks for the baggesse info.
Cheers
Steve

Brian

Good detective work Stake. Gold star coming your way!
Cheers

This has to be Genus Au + gold & Cuba the country Aucuba.

G'Day Garden-gal. You're spot on, I didn't think anyone would get it that quick.
You have a happy Easter Bunny too.
Regards Brian

G'Day, Budgieman could I have a bit of help with the Indian Bread one?

Hi all. Back from Sussex.
Spot on Stake with Aucuba japonica.
Re. the Indian bread one - If you order Indian takeaway you might also get a serving of .......... bread.
Cheers
Steve

G'Day Budgieman. Indian take aways are not available to us here in fact we don't have Chinese any more. I only know one Indian bread and that is Papadom and I'm not sure that is the right spelling. How about some help from other members 'cos I'm beat.
Brian

While I scratch my head, you can try this one.
Genus sounds like"Idle talk before I hesitate"
Species " The explorer with a favoured Scottish First name and another hesitation"
Because I can't do any better an added clue for the Scottish name could be "Mr Fairweather of TV"
Brian

Ok Stake - how about Naan or Nan?
Cheers
Steve
(Yours has me intrigued)

Got him Budgieman "Nandina domestica" I was in all sorts of trouble with this one first because I don't know the bread but with the maid I was thinking of complimetary terms like "A Gem" "A Jewel" and others like that, the domestic never entered my head.

Perfect Stake!
Now on to yours!
Cheers
Steve

Gossypium sturtianum - Sturts desert rose.

Well done Gardengal another one solved.
How's this one to keep you occupied.
Genus "The French firearm precedes the operatic air"
Species "Roman Father & Offspring end with 2"
Brian

Of course!
I had chat, banter etc.
(Stake, just between you and me if you had said "Women's Idle Talk"
I could have solved it in a second) LOL
Sorry ladies!
Good teaser and good answer Gardengal
On to the new one!
Budgie
