Name one variety of flower (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

anemone

'flower' is the definition.
(I know that anemone is a type of flower)

'name one variety' is the wordplay.
'variety' indicates an anagram.
'name'+'one'='nameone'
'nameone' with letters rearranged gives 'ANEMONE'.

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for anemone that I've seen before include "Colourful plant of buttercup family" , "Bright flower or sea plant" , "Plant with brightly coloured flowers - found also in sea" , "Flower; marine polyp" , "Flower; marine creature" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail and The Telegraph.
