I guess it would help if I showed you the flower for #4

Jema, I take it you've seen Gilbert Grape. What did you think about it? Johnny Depp was pretty young and Leonardo DiCaprio did an excellent job with his character.

11. Ugliest

Bernie

12. tingles

14. besting

Yes, indeed!

7. Obliges

Yes

Cue, I only saw the promo on TV and I wasn't inspired by that to go out of my way to see the movie.

Mrs. Cue rented it from Redbox. She knows I'm a big Johnny Depp fan. I thought it was worth the watch.

Added hints for the last few.

13. blights

4.Astilbe

Yes and yes

10. blitzes

Nice one Gail!
