Fall bloom (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aster

'fall bloom' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for aster that I've seen before include "Tears (anag) - plant" , "Showy garden flower" , "Michaelmas daisy genus" , "Stare oddly at the flower" , "Large daisy" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate, the Newsday, The New York Times, The Star Tribune and the Penny Press.
