Flower spread gets trophy (9)
I believe the answer is:
buttercup
'flower' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'spread gets trophy' is the wordplay.
'spread' becomes 'butter' (I've seen this before**).
'gets' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'trophy' becomes 'cup' (cup is a kind of trophy).
'butter'+'cup'='BUTTERCUP'
(Other definitions for buttercup that I've seen before include "Common yellow meadow plant" , "found in meadow" , "Common grassland plant, poisonous to livestock" , "Common meadow flower" , "Bumboat woman" .)
