   graylox, finally got this where I could post it- it's a blue-violet variety lupin I found in a bed beside the 'old stuff' store I found the seed cleaner at.

   here's a wider view. The wild ones seem to all be the first sort.

   your pic looks rather like an old bottle opener.

   Thanks for the flowers, but I don't take any bribes.
   It is not a bottle opener, not even a new one.

   The yellow flowers (Erysimum cheiri),are a very good food plant for bees and bumblebees.

   no bribe, just like knowing the pix are enjoyed. ah- these yellow flowers.

   thanks. my eyes sort them closer to orange, but I see colors oddly.

   the far contour looks off or I'd have guessed a wrench; it's almost right for an old-style punch-type oil-can spout, but lacking scale....

   Yes, goody, you are right, that is orange.The colour ranges from deep purpure-red to sun-yellow.
   No, Goody, you are not right no wrench I have no clue what a wrench is, no oil-can spout, no lacking scale.
   When the sun is shining these flowers smell stark and good like honey.

   EXTRA HINT --------- EXTRA HINT

   "One Chinese idiom about ***** is how "a toad wants to eat **** flesh!". This idiom is used derisively on men who desire women who are beyond their station in terms of wealth, social class or beauty." (quoted from Wikipedia)

    As Creamy will not sing Lohengrin, you'll see and hear some singing pets.
    Have fun! I had it.

    Sorry, graylox. Your hint was too good! One quick Google search is all it took. Thanks for the very funny video. What are they singing? No matter, it's still cute! :)

    Sorry, but my universal translator is broken as well as (only my ?) you-tube. can't hear all the sentimental links.
    Maizey you are really good with google; I reckoned that Lohengrin was a giveaway (!), didn't think that the Chinese would be so easy.

    It's not a porthole nor a parking meter. It doesn't even start with a "P".

    Creamy, not a compass.

    Hint: It has nothing to do with being on an island or the lake.

    It's part of or in a lighthouse; part of the lamp; the mirror - or your sunglasses :)
