[4] I'm with you...tried all sorts of stuff, too.
ETA: per usual, saw it as soon as I posted. That one is commonly used medicinally. It's supposed to be good for depression.

[5] it's not the color, it's the size that counts

[4] I hope old Duke is in heaven now. Otherwise, I'd have to take something for depression.

I was totally going to make this puzzle with a few of the same clues (particularly with the bird), but you definitely outdid all of my other ideas. The 'e' clue is fantastic.

Thanks, [4]. I know much more about medicinal plants than the garden type.

It helps to say what you're seeing out loud for this puzzle.

[28] I don't think any are misspelled, but you might try checking your answers for the princess and for the duke, since it's likely that those would be the ones for which you might have had another spelling.

[33] I can see you're in a pickle. It's not a sweet (or sour) place to be. I'll try to give you a kosher clue: What other kind of pickle is there? Then say it all out loud.

nice puzzle. great clues. I do seem to recall doing one with this very theme not too long ago. But who cares? Lord knows we have had repeats of sports themes and what not.
The Duke was giving me trouble... I thought he had his nose pierced for a while. And then when I got... I spelled it wrong and spent some time tracking that down.

Some duplicate answers - but only one similar clue.
I really loved the duke!!

[36] Me, too- my husband and I both thought that was a nose ring. heh.
What really gets me is that I have a bunch of that very thing growing along the side of our house... sheesh. Me dumb.

[41] [42] that's hilarious. I was having the same problem. Sometimes when you don't know the subject, you just have to type what you see!
