Flattery on stream as a local plant (7-6)
I believe the answer is:
flannel-flower
'flattery on stream' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.
'a local plant' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'a' could be 'an' and 'an' is found in the answer.
'plant' could be 'flower' (flower is a kind of plant) and 'flower' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'as' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
