A woman at tea taking in a floral garland (5-5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

daisy-chain

'a floral garland' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'a woman at tea taking in' is the wordplay.
'a woman' becomes 'daisy' ().
'at' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'tea' becomes 'cha' (cha is a type of tea).
'taking' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'daisy'+'cha'+'in'='DAISY-CHAIN'

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
