Hi roof
You're on the right lines with 23, but it's a balloonist rather than a flower
20 is a Yorkshire river inside D....D
25 is an American plover. I'm not impressed by the definition

I should have said "wordplay" rather than "defiinition" for 25

Many thanks Chrise

I did actually get them, though I didn't know that was what 23ac was if you see what I mean.

But what tells you that "sy" goes outside "outfit"?

In 24a that is.

The 'going for' lead me to replace with 'old girlfriend' with the 'outfit', it seemed fine.

Sorry, that should have been 'replace the...' .

I see "For" means "in place of".
I'll settle for that
Thanks malone.
