Congratulations to Robin for solving this  tricky puzzle and, of course, to Hans for setting it.   Rewards are called for, I think..... but someone  has eaten the chocolate intended for a prize....so as a replacement......

  ...but who has eaten our chocolate 

 Well, of course I am aware of the identity of the chocolate thief, but for the sake of harmonious relations in the Forum I prefer not to divulge this information

Maggi,

I will treasure this award and like Hans have printed it!  However the real prize is Han's for setting such a tricky puzzle that kept all Forumists on their toes - I think he really enjoyed outwitting us but someone had to guess in the end and it happened to be me - de Bono helped! 

Now where's that chocolate hidden

[Hans J]

Hi all ,

here are now two pics from this mystery plant 

I have to say a 'thank you' to all plantfriends who are involved and also thank you to the people from Canon ( which have build this camera IXUS 870 ) - the digital macrofunction is really good !!!

Hans you are a "cheat"    Your Thalictrum, as mine, is blue shaded but pink in your puzzle     

[Maggi Young]

HaHa... I see what you mean, Nicole.... but the flower is blue on the outside and shows pink in close up, from the front,  I think

[Paddy Tobin]

Good puzzle, Hans, and well done, Robin.

Hans you are a "cheat"    Your Thalictrum, as mine, is blue shaded but pink in your puzzle     

  oh no Nicole !!!

The first pic was made inside our house ( only rain yesterday ) with artifical light ....the both other today outside - this plants are difficould to photograph ....
I have nothing made with changing the colors !!!

  I'm used to changing pink colour with my husband's pics of my garden plants Hans !

This one should take a lot shorter time to solve:

[Paddy Tobin]

Stephen, I can only guess it must be something edible. (Just fishing for hints!)

34 views and no guesses! 

Yes, Paddy, it is "edible" - it was served at the table in the UK over 100 years ago in fact. No, no fish involved!

Those tentacles remind me of something growing on a reef is it a water/sea vegetable Stephen?  A sort of 'fernyfrondsamphire'?
