Flowers had Lisa in pieces (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dahlias

'flowers' is the definition.
(I know this)

'had lisa in pieces' is the wordplay.
'in pieces' indicates an anagram.
'had'+'lisa'='hadlisa'
'hadlisa' anagrammed gives 'DAHLIAS'.

(Other definitions for dahlias that I've seen before include "bloomers" , "I had Al's fowers" , "Tuberous garden plants" , "'Hid, alas, among the flowers (7)'" , "Herbaceous perennial plants of a Mexican genus" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
