Cuss -- rains damaged flower (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

narcissus

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

'cuss rains damaged' is the wordplay.
'damaged' indicates an anagram.
'cuss'+'rains'='cussrains'
'cussrains' anagrammed gives 'NARCISSUS'.

(Other definitions for narcissus that I've seen before include "In Greek myth, youth in love with his reflection" , "Flower like daffodil" , "bloomer" , "Variety of daffodil" , "Spring-flowering bulb" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
