Flower in pail, up inside (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lupin

'flower' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'in pail up inside' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'LUPIN' is hidden in the letters of 'pail up inside'.

(Other definitions for lupin that I've seen before include "Plant with erect spikes of usually purplish-blue flowers" , "bloomer" , "Plant with flowers on long spikes" , "Flower of pea family" , "Spiked flower" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
