Hi there,

I'm trying to find out the answer to a puzzle in Pitcherwits (Daily Mail) on April 2nd. It's driving me round the bend! I think it was a picture of a chemistry flask and a bee and the clue was feathered flower (or something along those lines). Can anyone help please? Thanks!

Shot in the dark as I have not seen the puzzle
ASTILBE

Howdy,

I was also stuck on this puzzle!! Took me ages but then the answer came to me......DISTILLBE.
Its a type of flower common in the Australian Outback. Hope this helps and happy Pitcherwitzing!

I've never heard of your flower but I was close!
One distils using a still and I have looked up astilbe and it's actually called feather flower. I thought I'd nailed it. Never mind!

i'm not sure that you are wrong rossim. as long as there is no letter count.

I've tried googling the other one, including words like Oz and outback with absolutely no success!

Rossim, I think you may be right! Thanks all for your help!!

i did a google search for "distillbe flower" and it says - showing results for astilbe flower.

You're welcome.

btw. rossim, that was very well solved without seeing the picture.
