Pickled flower buds (6)
I believe the answer is:
capers
'pickled flower buds' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for capers that I've seen before include "Skips, dances" , "Jumps, runs about playfully" , "Pranks and pickled buds" , "Scrape leading to frolics" , "Jumps about to get flavouring buds" .)
