Visual  Description:  Young love in bloom.

PYEOX  =  EPOXY,  ELTFE  =  FLEET,  DNUNEO  =  UNDONE,  KASYNE  =  SNEAKY   —   Giving us:  EPOLETNDNA

Clue/Question:  Head over heels in love, the nurseryman did this.

Answer:  PLANTED ONE

(I like it!  I like it!  A great slang phrase for: kissing works very well with the nursery scenario.   Well scrambled clue words.  As Richard might say: some were no doubt stuck on “epoxy”, KASYNE was very “sneaky”, some were a sea trying to get “fleet”, and some were “undone” by DNUNEO.  The answer letter layout gave nothing away.  So the entire puzzle gets high marks all around.  Looks like this might be a send-up to Little Shop of Horrors, with our lovers, Seymour and Audrey.  And, right in the front row of potted plants, it looks like a very young Audrey II is hoping to soon start her reign of terror!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
