Flower feeder? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tributary

This clue is a double definition.

'flower' is the first definition.
(part of a river - something that flows)

'feeder?' is the second definition.
(I know that affluent can be written as tributary)

(Other definitions for tributary that I've seen before include "River flowing into a larger one" , "River that feeds a larger one" , "Stream flowing into a larger body of water" , "revenue from clients" , "River running into another" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
