Noted flower from a faraway island (6)
I believe the answer is:
easter
'a faraway island' is the definition.
'easter' can be an answer for 'island' (I've seen this before). I'm not sure about the 'a faraway' bit.
'noted flower' is the wordplay.
'noted' becomes 'e' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'flower' becomes 'aster' (type of flower).
'e'+'aster'='EASTER'
'from' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for easter that I've seen before include "Christian celebration for Teresa" , "Annual religious festival" , "Snug retreat" , "Egg-rolling time" , "Major Christian festival in April" .)
