lily

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

'she's' is the definition.

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for lily that I've seen before include "Trumpet-shaped flowering plant" , "Plant like an amaryllis" , "Type of flower" , "Flower; girl's name" , "Flowering bulb" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
