[Jammysam]

The Pond Quiz from Derby Pond association

[Tilly2]

water lily?

[mallyh]

millpond?

[mallyh]

oh ignore mine

[Tilly2]

I don't understand the example...

[MargoTester]

I'm confused too. Water weed?

[MargoTester]

I think Tilly has it water lily

[melv16]

I'm desPONDant:-)

[Tilly2]

desPONDent

[Tilly2]

Sorry, Melv. I couldn't leave that be.

[melv16]

Whoops, forgot about the spelling police:-)

[Tilly2]

I have apologised.

[fiction-factory]

Please can you explain how "i.e. cut short harbour" fits in to this one

[ichkeria]

It sounds a bit like a round of HIGNIFY, where this week's guest publication is the "Pondlife", the official organ of the Derby Pond Association.
Something to ponder on. ...

The cryptic words "cut short harbour" would suggest a double definition to which the answer may be dock.

This plant:-

is known as Water Dock.

Okay, but on another question the required word could be added to (before or after) water and the three "i.e." words -in this case cut, short and harbour

[Tilly2]

Not 'lily' then. :-)

[Tilly2]

This is a heck of a challenging quiz if the questions are asked in this way. :-(

[melv16]

I'm confused of S Yorkshire. Apologies accepted, Tilly :-)

[cashier]

It's going to be challenging if it is always in Animals and Nature.
