Fragrant plant described in charming exercise on second page (8)
I believe the answer is:
sweetpea
'described in charming exercise on second page' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'fragrant plant' is the wordplay.
'fragrant' becomes 'sweet' (similar in meaning).
'plant' becomes 'pea' (pea is a kind of plant).
'sweet'+'pea'='SWEETPEA'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sweetpea that I've seen before include "climbing plant" , "climber" .)
