Some consider honesty a flower (5)
I believe the answer is:
rhone
'flower' is the definition.
(Rhone River is an example)
'some consider honesty a' is the wordplay.
'some' says the answer is hidden in the clue (some of the parts of the word are used).
'RHONE' can be found hidden inside 'consider honesty a'.
(Other definitions for rhone that I've seen before include "French wine region" , "Major French river, rising in Switzerland" , "wine-producing area" , "Fr. river and wine" , "River rising in Switzerland and flowing into the Mediterranean" .)
