Avalanches, perhaps, of flowers (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

snowdrops

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This might be a double definition.

'avalanches' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'of flowers' is the second definition.
'snowdrops' can be an answer for 'flowers' (snowdrop is a kind of flower). I'm unsure of the 'of' bit.

'perhaps' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for snowdrops that I've seen before include "flowers" , "Avalanches" .)
