Rush ahead of me to find flower arrangement (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

raceme

'flower arrangement' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'rush ahead of me' is the wordplay.
'rush' becomes 'race' (synonyms).
'ahead of' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (some letters go in front of others).
'race'+'me'='RACEME'

'to find' is the link.

(Other definitions for raceme that I've seen before include "Long cluster of flowers along the main stem" , "something flowery" , "Flower cluster (botany)" , "Flowers evenly spaced along central stem" , "Elongated cluster of flowers along a main stem" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
