Small flower stand (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

brook

I believe this is a double definition.

'small flower' is the first definition.
(a small stream, ie something that flows)

'stand' is the second definition.
('brook' can be a synonym of 'stand')

(Other definitions for brook that I've seen before include "Bear - small stream" , "running water" , "stomach" , "Allow" , "Stream; put up with" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
