Endlessly she makes bloomers all over the place! (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

floral

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

'all over the place' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'endlessly she makes bloomers' is the wordplay.
'endlessly' means to remove the last letter.
'she' becomes 'Flo'.
'makes bloomers' becomes 'oral' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'flo' with its final letter taken off is 'fl'.
'fl'+'oral'='FLORAL'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for floral that I've seen before include "Pertaining to blossoms" , "Blooming" , "annuals?" , "Like daffodils" , "of a Roman goddess" .)
