Stuck with two clues. Once again I'd ask for your kind help.
20 d Expert in a type of armless self-defence. I have J-D---
25 a see flower losing tuft, it is visually pleasing. I have --E/----Y
Hi, Tony,
In defence of my suggestion of "eye candy" there is a flower called candytuft. Also, in the part of the world where I live there's lots of eye candy on the beaches at this time of the year. The phrase is not discriminatory, people of either gender can be eye candy if young enough and gorgeous enough.
Cheers
I agree that the answer is eye candy (from Candytuft) & I am so glad to get an answer to armless self-defence: I also had J-D--A & our rather ancient dictionary couldn't come up with anything!
