Flowers required for Easter service (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

asters

'flowers' is the definition.
(aster is a type of flower)

'required for easter service' is the wordplay.
'required for' indicates a hidden word.
'ASTERS' is hidden in the letters of 'easter service'.

(Other definitions for asters that I've seen before include "Christmas daisies" , "Otherwise known as Michaelmas daisies" , "Stares at bright flowers" , "Stares oddly at the flowers" , "Stares around at the flowers" .)
