I think the definition is ‘Word to describe flowers’ ‘describe’ suggests an adj and Collins defines it “(of plants) having pistils but no anthers”. As the blog says, I think the wordplay puts ILL (not good) in PI (very good) STATE (condition).

Far too hard for me, I’m afraid, so it’s a good job this wasn’t my week! I too cannot answer those two queries.

I’m afraid I can’t help with your two queries, as I gave the same doubts. Still, an entertaining and doable puzzle

These are generally aimed to be a bit more straightforward than my Times or Pasquale or Bradman puzzles, so I’d fully expect bloggers here to find them quite easy.
