Flowering plant everyone cut round the edges (6)
I believe the answer is:
mallow
'flowering plant' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both plants as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'everyone cut round the edges' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'everyone' could be 'all' (all people) and 'all' is present in the answer.
'cut' could be 'mow' (as in mowing a lawn) and 'mow' is found within the leftover letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for mallow that I've seen before include "Downy-leaved plant and Cork town" , "Shrub" , "Hairy-stemmed plant" , "'Cork town, a plant and a sweet (6)'" .)
