Darling climber (5,3)
I believe the answer is:
sweet pea
'darling climber' is the definition.
'sweet pea' can be an answer for 'climber' (I've seen this before). I am not sure about the 'darling' bit.
'darling climber' is the wordplay.
'darling' becomes 'sweet' (I've seen this in another clue).
'climber' becomes 'pea' (I've seen this before).
'sweet'+'pea'='SWEET PEA'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sweet pea that I've seen before include "Highly-scented garden climber" , "Garden plant with brightly coloured flowers" , "Garden plant with pastel-coloured flowers" , "Perfumed climber" , "Eat, weeps and gets climbing flowers" .)
