Hello all, can I have some clues for these please, no straight answers? Thanks!

5a A seer sounds like a synonym for this plant (7)
8d Deplored stocking fancy shoe that's pinkish (4-4) ??s?-??e?
(Clues may require addition or removal of up to 3 adjacent letters)

5a starts with a C

Sounds like ascender

Rued (deplored) + shoe

Aha and aha! Thanks.

5a A seer sounds like a synonym for this plant (7)

2 letters need to be added to the clue(answer is a kind of plant rather than a name of one).
Ase er.


8d Deplored stocking fancy shoe that's pinkish (4-4) ??s?-??e?

i think of the word Regretted rather than Deplored goes around an anagram of shoe

Last one, but it's looking like I might have made a mistake somewhere...
