Crossword Genius

Silly spring flower (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

daffy

This clue is a double definition.

'silly' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'spring flower' is the second definition.
(short for daffodil)

(Other definitions for daffy that I've seen before include "Silly, eccentric (colloq.)" , "duck on screen" , "Bonkers" , "foolish" , "Cuckoo" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
