Flowery point made in a case of terrible agony (7)

I believe the answer is:

nosegay

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'case of terrible agony' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'flowery point made in a' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'point' could be 'se' (SE is an example) and 'se' is found in the answer.
'a' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for nosegay that I've seen before include "Old-fashioned posy" , "Gone, say (anag)" , "spray" , "Floral offering" , "Fragrant posy" .)
