Hi Andy, gets me every time,grrrr!

Are there any flowers and rivers that share the same name? I wait with baited breath!

Try this just in case you haven't parsed it yet.

Yes, I did get it, but had to google douro to check!

Tigris is the only one I can think of.

We cracked it Rossim (as above) thanks but I'll give you the clue anway so you can see what I was going on about: 15d) Smell flower in Portugal close to the top (5)

Andy, he means a river and flower with same name. Good call rossim.

Thank you. (I was actually answering Bernie #3).
I would never have solved that clue. Many a time I've been caught out by flower.
Butter (goat) is another.

Rossim is a "she", I think, bernie.
I've been thinking too. I have lots of rivers that are also birds, but I haven't any flowers yet (apart from that neighbour to the Tigris - the Euphorbia!)

Apologies for the sex change rossim!
