Appearing to be a bloomer (2,6)
I believe the answer is:
in flower
'appearing to' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.
'a bloomer' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'bloomer' could be 'flower' (I've seen this before) and 'flower' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'in' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'be' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for in flower that I've seen is " Blossoming".)
