Floral trophy at the Dairy Show? (9)
I believe the answer is:
buttercup
'the dairy show?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how one could define the other.
'floral trophy' is the wordplay.
'floral' becomes 'butter' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'trophy' becomes 'cup' (cup is a kind of trophy).
'butter'+'cup'='BUTTERCUP'
'at' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for buttercup that I've seen before include "weedy type" , "Common meadow flower" , "Bright yellow flower" , "Common yellow meadow plant" , "Flowering plant" .)
