CROSS-POLLINATION
Some of the best plants have been developed by breeding from disparate parents. I have done a little genetic juggling to produce some garden designers and pundits. Some are historical, some are more modern. Whom do you get if you cross the following:
1 A conqueror with the Garden of England?
2 A knight of the round table with an ex-PM (adding parenthetical competence)?
3 Hamlet's mother with an unstable Victorian doctor?
4 A Latin life, a dismissal, a French town and a compass bearing?
5 A transatlantic lavatory, professions and humbug?
6 A Duke of Northumberland with one who hurls a discus?
7 Oryctolagus cuniculus with an Irish pint?
8 My French house in Wales with a university academic?
9 Yours truly with a tiny wet place?
10 A man-shaped jug with a dollar and terra firma?
11 A Christmas song with little German?
12 A Nazareth carpenter and a virgin?
Happy puzzling
