Flower a learner will long for? (6)
I believe the answer is:
alpine
'flower a learner will long for?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'a learner will long for?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'a' is present in the answer.
'learner' could be 'l' (as in a learner driver with L-plates on their car) and 'l' is located in the answer.
'long' could be 'pine' (to pine for someone is to long for them) and 'pine' is present in the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for alpine that I've seen before include "Native growing up in mountainous area" , "Nepali (anag.)" , "To do with great European mountains" , "from Germany, Austria etc" , "Plant of high mountains" .)
