Nina gets new bloomers (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gentians

'bloomers' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'nina gets new' is the wordplay.
'new' is an anagram indicator.
'nina'+'gets'='ninagets'
'ninagets' is an anagram of 'GENTIANS'.

(Other definitions for gentians that I've seen before include "Intensely blue flowers" , "Plants - antigens (anag)" , "Intense blue flowers" , "bloomers" .)
