when I was surfing - maybe I should remove it.....

How did you keep upright on the board AND hold the camera steady?   

[Ragged Robin]

multi tasking - it's a woman prerogative!

[ranunculus]

Men can multi-task ... I can drink Guinness and watch football ...

Ah but can you surf at the same time like the guys in the famous Guinness advert shot off a beach in Hawaii ? - I've been to that location - plus I saw pineapples growing for the first time on the Del Monte plantation;D

That's not multi-tasking, Robin ... that's exercise!

... now it's your turn to set the next puzzle!   

Thanks for the fun Cliff .... but aaaaagh what a 'prize'

Unfortunately I've nothing to hand that would be a worthy successor so must pass for now

I missed my turn before so can I do one now.

Look at the picture, and name the crocus.

First thoughts - Crocus nevadensis, a stab in the dark but last night I had Echium sp and Lanzarote but having never been there I kept mum   Tonight I'll risk appearing a fool (which as anyone who knows me will realise is a role I often play )

After 25 viewings of your lovely photo, Diane, thank goodness The Croconut has returned from the wild to set the pace.....I am stuck between the cherry trees and the mountain so will see if any other clues transpire

No fool, Chief Croconut, but not there yet.  More clues later, although I'm supposed to be processing entries for the Midland show tonight, preparing my plants and setting it up tomorrow, and on duty on Saturday so I may have to keep you guessing for a while ...

... I am stuck between the cherry trees and the mountain

RR, the crocus is not BETWEEN the trees and the mountain

And no cherry blossom, it's too early, and too late for the crocus.

[ranunculus]

Are we perhaps looking at Crocus serotinus ... (I really should stick to buttercups)?   

[ashley]

First thoughts - Crocus nevadensis

Or at ssp. level there are several possibilities ...

Almond blossom then? - I'll leave the crocus to the experts
