Hi friends. Just recovered from the illness and well enough to return to site. Hopefully J5@5 will be back next week (wassailing permitting!!!)

Just had a go at SAGA Dec. Down to one. 17A

Butterflies all over the place - canary yellow - Lowry painted out (7) L?C?E?E

LUCRECE? But why? Beginning to wonder about the letters I have. I thought they were correct.

HAPPY CHRISTMAS

I think it is LYCAENA (which is a genus of butterflies) being an anagram of canary yellow without L, O, W, R and Y
