amazon

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

This might be a double definition.

'large flower' is the first definition.
'amazon' can be an answer for 'flower' (I've seen this before). I'm unsure of the 'large' bit.

'a strong woman' is the second definition.

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for amazon that I've seen before include "Awesome female" , "Aggressive female" , "World's largest river" , "Warlike female" , "tropical fish swimming here" .)
