I'm stuck on two plant quiz questions (no prizes, it's just for fun).
Any
ideas?

Tipple for a fostered bird (10 letters)

Cuckoopint?

Light hearted caper & sir gained it (8 letters)

Larkspur?
I recon this is an anargam of the last 2 words 'gained it'


You may be right, but a 'lark' can mean a 'light hearted caper' and a 'sir'
is a knight - when a person was knighted, he was said to have 'won his
spurs', 'it' implies singular, hence 'spur'.

Larkspur is the common name for plants of genus consolida, so the answer
fits the pattern.
