Enjoy!

Those sneaky buggers! Once you see what is going on it’s easy but usually there is a warning. That was like a mini version of a Saturday WSJ variety. I loved it!

Still missing 1A and 2D. As you say, once I caught on to the gimmick, I made really good time; then hit the wall. Took me longer than it should have because I really wanted 10A to be Camelia (but, of course, couldn't make it work). Did not know that there was a shrub called "andromeda"; so 1D had me stumped for a long time. Had to look up the definition of 1D. Had heard of the word but didn't really know what it meant.

Many thanks to Richard for posting these every week.
