Love kiss with these? They may be in bed (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

oxlips

'they may be in bed' is the definition.
(flowers which may be grown in a flower bed)

'love kiss with these?' is the wordplay.
'love' becomes 'o' (love means zero in tennis).
'kiss' becomes 'x' (X can represent a kiss).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'these?' becomes 'lips' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'o'+'x'+'lips'='OXLIPS'

(Another definition for oxlips that I've seen is " Plants".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
