'frank' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'a scottish flower? correct' is the wordplay.
'a scottish flower?' becomes 'forth' (I've seen this before. I am not sure about the 'scottish' bit.).
'correct' becomes 'right' (synonyms).
'forth'+'right'='FORTHRIGHT'

(Other definitions for forthright that I've seen before include "straightforward" , "Frank and uninhibited" , "Straight-talking" , "Direct, outspoken" , "Open" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
