Late winter flower (8)
I believe the answer is:
snowdrop
'late winter flower' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for snowdrop that I've seen before include "A blooming" , "Spring plant with bell-shaped flowers" , "Wood anemone" , "Small white flower of early spring" , "White-flowered plant (Galanthus nivalis)" .)
