Funny shape, old Lily (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

asphodel

'lily' is the definition.
(type of lily)

'funny shape old' is the wordplay.
'funny' is an anagram indicator.
'shape'+'old'='shapeold'
'shapeold' is an anagram of 'ASPHODEL'.

(Other definitions for asphodel that I've seen before include "Flower of lily family - old heaps (anag)" , "Elysian plant" , "Shop deal (anag.)" , "Lad hopes (anag) - flower" , "Mediterranean plant" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
