Platform with exotic hyacinths, last three plucked for floral decoration (5,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

daisy chain

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

'decoration' is the definition.
(daisy chain is a kind of decoration)

'platform with exotic hyacinths last three plucked for floral' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'platform' could be 'dais' (dais is a kind of platform) and 'dais' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for daisy chain that I've seen before include "String of flowers" , "simple floral arrangement" , "Simple garland" , "Connect IT devices" .)
