The Frame-Up

The Night Bloom at Kew Hollow — the Bell frame-up

Someone knew exactly when the orchid would open, and exactly which pane to jimmy. Every botanist worked a glasshouse down the garden path that night. Sort out who tended where. Statements were taken from all 5 botanists; Harriet Bell's is the first page.

1. 1. Lorne Maddox was right next to the botanist carrying the potting fork.
2. 2. The botanist tending the wax flower was not in Glasshouse 2.
3. 3. Rashid Noor was in Glasshouse 2.
4. 4. The botanist tending the flame protea was in a lower-numbered glasshouse than the botanist carrying the potting fork.
