It's time to get working on those gardens! Of course, we went from 78° to 18° in the span of two days! Who knows what tomorrow may bring.
Use the clues to find two words that when anagrammed together will reveal the name of a flower.
Example: a short coiffure? + luscious (6) = do + rich > orchid
-1. wise man + ancient alphabetic character (8) -2. a bay horse sprinkled with white + shenanigan (9) -3. first word in a Billy Ray title + clue (8) -4. nearby + word before up or shift (9) [hg] -5. New York has a central one + insult (8) -6. Tennessee NFL'r + self-composure (10) [tp] -7. drat + chef clothes protectors (10) -8. stream + hospital employee (9) -9. precious + yield (8) [dg] -10. inn + boat typically used by the coast guard (9) -11. "life" partner + prevention measurement? (9) -12. it's typically found in a vein + light spectrum creator (8) -13. word with teen or American + 15.4 grains (8) -14. copy + Zappa's eldest's middle name (7) -15. bring upon oneself + talk back (9) [is]
Challenge Clue:
For the one who loves tilling the soil, having the gnats fly up their nose and getting their arse skewered with a lengthy rose thorn, this challenge is for you.
sister + aware of + have + rejection in the belief of God (4 words totaling 17 letters) [nooa][3437] Putting the answers in order results in a bit of a funny.
Did you ever stop to think and then forget to start again?

What a nice bouquet! That just leaves the challenge clue. I've added the first letters for the answer words (that have to be anagrammed) and the lengths of these same words.

Those are the words, Joan. The answer has four words in it too.
