Right inside an open incline see, I say, a leading show - daisies! (7)
I believe the answer is:
arnicas
'a leading show daisies' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both plants as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'right inside an open incline see i' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'right' could be 'ar' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'ar' is present in the answer.
'an' could be 'i' (Roman numeral for one) and 'i' is found in the answer.
'see' could be 'c' (the word for the letter, according to Chambers) and 'c' is found within the answer.
'i' could be 'a' and 'a' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'say' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for arnicas that I've seen is " Plants".)
