Dare I risk ANOTHER new thread Keith???

Does anybody like crosswords?

There are some very clever compilers out there who come up with some CRACKING clues. Here's a couple to start you off - can you solve these?

1. Blue and white flower of Africa. - 4 letters

2. HIJKLMNO - 5 letters

Good luck.

I used to love doing crosswords (especially Azed and Araucaria) but I developed other interests on a Sunday - such as hangovers :Cuckoo:

One clue I always remember from Araucaria that caused us a lot of :Brick: was:

Astany portorm? (3,4,2,1,5)

Here's one that stumped me for ages:

49%? - 100%! (3,4)
