Crossword Genius

Aspen is producing flowers (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pansies

'flowers' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'aspen is producing' is the wordplay.
'producing' is an anagram indicator.
'aspen'+'is'='aspenis'
'aspenis' with letters rearranged gives 'PANSIES'.

(Other definitions for pansies that I've seen before include "Flowers with velvety petals" , "Violas" .)
