European abroad sees wild flower as national symbol (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

edelweiss

'flower as national symbol' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'european abroad sees wild' is the wordplay.
'european' becomes 'e' (abbreviation e.g. EU).
'abroad' indicates an anagram (abroad can mean moving around).
'sees'+'wild'='seeswild'
'seeswild' is an anagram of 'delweiss'.
'e'+'delweiss'='EDELWEISS'

(Other definitions for edelweiss that I've seen before include "Deep admiration" , "White-flowered alpine plant" , "Swedes lie about small white flower in Switzerland" , "flower as national symbol" , "Ewe slides on the alpine plant" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
