AC/DC featured in newspaper piece by E Bloom (9)
I believe the answer is:
columbine
'bloom' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both plants as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'acdc featured in newspaper piece by e' is the wordplay.
'acdc' becomes 'bi' (AC/DC can informally mean bisexual).
'featured in' is an insertion indicator.
'newspaper piece' becomes 'column' (I've seen this in another clue).
'by' says to put letters next to each other.
'bi' inserted into 'column' is 'columbin'.
'columbin'+'e'='COLUMBINE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for columbine that I've seen before include "pantomime character" , "Flower for Harlequin?" , "Flower - Harlequin's sweetheart" , "Flower; commedia dell'arte char." , "servant girl in old panto" .)
