Digital assistant displaying flower in retreat (4)
I believe the answer is:
siri
'digital assistant' is the definition.
(assistant on Apple devices)
'flower in retreat' is the wordplay.
'flower' becomes 'iris' (iris is a type of flower).
'in retreat' says the letters should be written backwards.
'iris' reversed gives 'SIRI'.
'displaying' acts as a link.
(Another definition for siri that I've seen is " Apple's virtual assistant".)
I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
