Daisy and Bruce playing with a kid (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rudbeckia

'daisy' is the definition.
(species of daisy plant)

'bruce playing with a kid' is the wordplay.
'playing with' indicates an anagram.
'a'+'kid'='akid'
'bruce' anagrammed with 'akid' gives 'RUDBECKIA'.

'and' is the link.

(Another definition for rudbeckia that I've seen is " Plant".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
