R RED HOT POKER (torch lily) - starts blooming in late spring. Fiery red/orange/ yellow shades. The plants grow 3-8 feet tall. Always seemed to be a popular choice of garden plant in Brinsworth , when I was a youngster.

S - Stravinsky. Russian composer of The Rite of Spring, a ballet and orchestral concert work. It was written for the 1913 Paris season of Sergei Diaghilev's Ballets Russes company; the original choreography was by Vaslav Nijinsky with stage designs and costumes by Nicholas Roerich. When first performed at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées on 29 May 1913, the avant-garde nature of the music and choreography caused a sensation
T TULIPS - another spring flower.
V VERNAL Equinox - when the sun is exactly over the equator and day and night are equal in length - happens in Spring.

W WISTERIA - Woody twining flowering vine, which starts blooming in spring. Flowers are usually lilac in colour, but can also be pink or white. Some species climb in a clockwise direction, others anti-clockwise.
I do like Wisteria. Used to have a swing in the back garden and when it broke and wanted cleaning up and painting by that time the children were too old to go on it. So I planted climbing plants around it which grew and flowered for a few years before finally giving up the ghost and the swing frame is no longer in residence!
X - XANTHOCERAS - a shrub native to China which has white star shaped flowers that arrive in May
Z ZANTEDESCHIA - flowers of the lily family that bloom from late spring

Caz, your X and Z entries speak to an impressive botanical knowledge. Two right mouthfulls!
Well, actually, Sixpence and I rely on 'our friend' Gordon for a lot of our answers! Though I do have a book with impossible named plants in them that I used to go to Garden Centre's with and show them what I wanted!
Another one finished! Thanks to everyone for having a go
Spring has arrived too!
