Guys in forest got wild flowers (6-2-4)
I believe the answer is:
forget-me-nots
'flowers' is the definition.
(type of flower)
'guys in forest got wild' is the wordplay.
'guys' becomes 'men' (guy can mean a man).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'wild' is an anagram indicator.
'forest'+'got'='forestgot'
'forestgot' with letters rearranged gives 'forgetots'.
'men' going inside 'forgetots' is 'FORGET-ME-NOTS'.
(Another definition for forget-me-nots that I've seen is " Small flowers".)
I've seen this clue in The Times.
