Vanilla, for instance (6)
I believe the answer is:
orchid
This might be a double definition.
'vanilla' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both plants as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'instance' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how one could define the other.
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for orchid that I've seen before include "Common houseplant" , "Beautiful exotic flower" , "Exotic flower with strong perfume" , "Do rich have this flower?" , "Exotic bloom" .)
