'Sounds Like' A Living Thing (Plant/Creature) - 19 March

[bluebell56]

Can anyone help with my last three please.  Clues have sound like answers.

No.7 Wed (5), Give an unfair adantage (3), Precious Metal (4) - I have Marry for the 1st word and Gold for the 3rd word which would make Marigold but what would the middle word be? unless I am on the wrong track completely.

No.25 One who predicts (4), Be aware (4), Therefore (4) - My suggestion is Seer, Know, Thus but can't work out the plant/creature.

No.27 For holding plants (3), For camping (4), For steering ships (6) - Again pot, tent/site, rudder? 

What does anyone think?  Thank you.

27 potentilla - pot tent tiller

25 Ceanothus

7 may well be marigold if the middle word is rig for give unfair advantage, but there is an overlap between the first two elements of the clue.

Perfect thank you Toorak and Romanski. You are right if you say marry, rig and gold slowly it works. Thank you so much.

[Romanski]

You are welcome,Bluebell.

Yes, no 7 seems odd if it is marigold as it would work better without the 'give an unfair advantage' bit

[bluebell56]

Yes totally agree Newmodarmy.

4 Marry Rig Gold

7 would have been better if the 1st word was 'spoil' (3) ='mar'
