Like florist's goods — doing well, bringing in pounds (8)
I believe the answer is:
blooming
'like florist's goods' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how one could define the other.
'doing well bringing in pounds' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'in' is found in the answer.
'pounds' could be 'l' (L can represent the monetary pound) and 'l' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for blooming that I've seen before include "Blossoming" , "Healthy -- flowering" , "Euphemistic expletive - in flower" , "Looking healthy" .)
