BS: Quiz - Answers Required

From: GUEST,Raggytash

In the club where drink we're stuck for the answers to the following clues, all answers are FLOWERS

1 Pull this for a butt
2 Ask her, she's sure to oblige
3 Goes up in smoke
4 Nothing in a thin frog
5 This girl's a good climber
6 Prickly Bovine

We considered Ivy for No5 but Ivy is not a flower, we also considered Virginia Creeper but again it is not a flower as such

Still working on the others.

Ivies do flower but they are green and berry-like.... so don't get noticed.

If No2 didn't specify sex, it could be 'Jack-go-to-bed-at-noon'..... these flowers are randy buggers!

I like John's 'Love in a Mist' it occurred to me too, but the frog [sic] threw me.

Didn't consider that No5 could be a a typo, we were thinking of Frogs, tadpoles etc etc. We did think of Briar but again it's the plant and not the flower, the flower on a briar is a rose, it probably depends on how "lax" the question setter is
