    Firstly, I'm a twit because I should have been looking for 6char tropical plants, not 7 <doh>

    Secondly, even if I had, loofah would not have been in my list. Had it been it would have been easy

    Thirdly, I don't understand the significance of the word retired

    ................ and finally, I'm just useless at these

    I think we have to find another word for monarch and take the first one or more letters away to leave us with an anagram of "alamb" but as that doesn't lead me anywhere I have no idea.

    Your thinking for the first part is correct Ron but not the second, no anagram involved
