I found this one of the best puzzles I've ever done (in about 50 years),but cannot completely understand my answer to 13d.If the solution is part of a flower,I know the word is used in some parts affectionately,but then why "suffixedly seeking",I don't want to ruin it for anyone,but perhaps s'one who's already there can explain this final bit of the clue.I can almost guess who it's going to be,of course!!!
