Cynthia arranged to visit hospital with plant from Lily (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hyacinth

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

'plant from lily' is the definition.
'hyacinth' can be an answer for 'lily' (I've seen this before). I'm not certain of the 'plant from' bit.

'cynthia arranged to visit hospital' is the wordplay.
'arranged' is an anagram indicator.
'to visit hospital' becomes 'h' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'cynthia' with letters rearranged gives 'hyacint'.
'hyacint'+'h'='HYACINTH'

'with' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hyacinth that I've seen before include "Flower, in an achy hint" , "Fragrant plant of the lily family" , "Popular flower grown from bulb" , "Bulb-based plant with fragrant bell-shaped flowers" , "Highly scented flower from bulb" .)
