Bulb could be lit up (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tulip

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

'could be lit up' is the wordplay.
'could be' indicates an anagram.
'lit'+'up'='litup'
'litup' anagrammed gives 'TULIP'.

(Other definitions for tulip that I've seen before include "Spring-blooming plant" , "Plant of the lily family with a single showy flower" , "(Dutch) bloom" , "Bulbous plant" , "Amsterdam bloom?" .)
