Flower in hair I see (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

iris

'flower' is the definition.
(iris is a type of flower)

'in hair i see' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'IRIS' is hidden in the letters of 'hair i see'.

(Other definitions for iris that I've seen before include "Ms Murdoch" , "who keeps pupil in?" , "Flower and eye membrane" , "Flower - rainbow" , "Bright flower or eye part" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
