choice

'flower' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'various ones from which to pick' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'from' could be 'o' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'o' is located in the answer.
'pick' could be 'ice' (ice pick is a kind of pick) and 'ice' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'ch' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'the' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
