Bizarre name associated with a solitary flower (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

anemone

'flower' is the definition.
(anemone is a kind of flower)

'bizarre name associated with a solitary' is the wordplay.
'bizarre' indicates anagramming the letters.
'associated with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'a solitary' becomes 'one' (the only one).
'name' anagrammed gives 'anem'.
'anem'+'one'='ANEMONE'

(Other definitions for anemone that I've seen before include "A flower; mean one (anag.)" , "Kind of buttercup with white or coloured flowers" , "Plant with brightly coloured flowers - found also in sea" , "Woodland plant, eg the windflower" , "Pretty flower or sea animal" .)
