Crossword Genius

The flag lady? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

iris

This clue is a double definition.

'the flag' is the first definition.
('iris' can be a synonym of 'flag')

'lady?' is the second definition.

(Other definitions for iris that I've seen before include "Greek goddess of the rainbow" , "Lily" , "Fleur-de-lys" , "Flower and eye membrane" , "In the middle of which pupil is opening" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
