stamen

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

'centre of bloom' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both plants as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'school meant to order' is the wordplay.
'school' becomes 'S'.
'to order' indicates anagramming the letters.
'meant' with letters rearranged gives 'tamen'.
's'+'tamen'='STAMEN'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stamen that I've seen before include "Flower's male reproductive organ" , "Male organ of plant" , "Fertiliser" , "Bit of a bloomer" , "Section of a flower" .)
