Bright flower around edges of verge (6)
I believe the answer is:
lively
'bright' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'flower around edges of verge' is the wordplay.
'flower' becomes 'lily' (I've seen this before**).
'around' indicates putting letters inside.
'edges of' means to remove the middle letters.
'verge' with its centre removed is 've'.
'lily' enclosing 've' is 'LIVELY'.
(Other definitions for lively that I've seen before include "Vivacious" , "Con brio" , "Active" , "Full of fun" , "Full of energy and high spirits" .)
