Actor putting the flora in Florida? (7,5)
I believe the answer is:
orlando bloom
'actor putting the flora' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'in florida?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'in florida?' could be 'orlando' (I've seen this before) and 'orlando' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'bloom' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
