He was maybe inspired by hearing Arrau on the Joanna.

Do I have permission to start thinking about a 'K'?

[Nick Armstrong]

Cali - the only answer - not tonight!

So that was supposed to be telling me the answer wasn't Josephine?

I thought "the only answer" meant that it was the correct one.



I'd love it if the 'cryptic' quotient - both in questions and answers - went down a notch, and the 'clarity' nudged up just a little bit. That's 20 minutes looking for Northern Irish Josephines I'll never see again

[Northender]

Oh dear...I've been working on a cryptic(ish) 'K'.....

Do your worst! Just tell me straight if I'm barking up the wrong tree later!!

OK
How might Ena Harkness, Beelzebub and Erik lead you to uses of 'K', on-screen in all three cases and also on-stage in the third?

Oooh even without googling I know that Ena Harkness is a lovely, scented dark red rose - my father, a keen rose grower, had a bed of them

Make of that what you will

K?

wiki tells us "Harkness Roses (a trading name of R. Harkness & Co. Ltd) are rose breeders based at Hitchin, Hertfordshire in England. The nursery was founded in 1879 in Yorkshire. Early varieties included a sport of 'Heinrich Schultheis' introduced in 1893 as 'Mrs. Harkness'. In the 1950s, Harkness popularized 'Frensham' and 'Ena Harkness', both developed by amateur Albert Norman, and for a time 'Ena Harkness' was the most popular red Hybrid Tea in the world."


My father, an austere aesthete, thought they were a bit vulgar. But then he allowed no bright coloured flowers in the gardens - only white and green, with the occasional very dark iris.

A few years after he died my mother timidly introduced a few old roses, Rosa moyesii and the like.

Not Ena H, tho'...

Dad had a bed of Frensham too and Peace, Superstar and a lovely old lemon-scented yellow rambler called Leverkusen. He had a large multi-rose bed in the front garden too

Still nowhere near a K I'm afraid

Are you sure, Caliban?

Might our friend's papa not have been gardener for our mutual acquaintance Clarence in deepest Shropshire?

[Northender]

Yes. Ena Harkness is The Name Of The flower which you googled. (Is there an Eco in here?)

[Northender]

Erik has been around since 1910. And remember, you're looking for uses of 'K' on stage and screen.

So it's not Ken Russell then.
