Hi there,

I'm trying to find out the answer to a puzzle in Pitcherwits (Daily Mail) on April 2nd. It's driving me round the bend! I think it was a picture of a chemistry flask and a bee and the clue was feathered flower (or something along those lines). Can anyone help please? Thanks!

Howdy,

I was also stuck on this puzzle!! Took me ages but then the answer came to me......DISTILLBE.
Its a type of flower common in the Australian Outback. Hope this helps and happy Pitcherwitzing!

I've never heard of your flower but I was close!
One distils using a still and I have looked up astilbe and it's actually called feather flower. I thought I'd nailed it. Never mind!

I've tried googling the other one, including words like Oz and outback with absolutely no success!
