D Mail Fri 8/3/13 Please Help My Pa In Law

[Orn8one]

93 year old Pa is stuck on:
15d clip front of foliage they overhang walls
And
17a flower that's held under the chin
No-one else seems stuck on this as I can't find any answers. Hoping you will all share!
Many thanks, Amanda

Hi..Could you let us know how many letters are in each clue?

17 Buttercup? Children used to hold a buttercup under each others chins. If there's a yellow reflection on the skin you're supposed to like butter

Sorry I don't have the paper. He calls me at during my lunch break at work. I tried to get as much info as pos but he's very deaf and usually answersa different question! Thank you all for your help, he'll be very pleased. I admire everyone's skill, I'll stick to washing cars!
