Fall flower (5)

I believe the answer is:

aster

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

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for aster that I've seen before include "Christmas daisy" , "Tears (anag) - plant" , "Kind of daisy" , "eg Michaelmas daisy" , "Tears about bright flower" .)

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