Outside England? Sell bulb, circulating blooms (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bluebells

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'blooms' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both plants as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'outside england? sell bulb circulating' is the wordplay.
'outside' is an insertion indicator.
'england?' becomes 'e'.
'circulating' indicates an anagram.
'sell'+'bulb'='sellbulb'
'sellbulb' anagrammed gives 'blubells'.
'e' going into 'blubells' is 'BLUEBELLS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bluebells that I've seen before include "Flowers (maybe of Scotland)" , "Woodland flowers" .)
