Flower seeds lie all over the place with cutting (9)
I believe the answer is:
edelweiss
'flower' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'seeds lie all over the place with cutting' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'with' could be 'w' (abbreviation) and 'w' is located in the answer.
an anagram of 'lie' is 'lei' which is within the left over letters.
an anagram of 'seeds' is 'edess' which is present in the remaining letters.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for edelweiss that I've seen before include "I weed less when this flower is around" , "Alpine flower - "The Sound of Music" song" , "flower as national symbol" , "high growth" , "Swedes lie about small white flower in Switzerland" .)
