Victor avoiding hot pink flower (7)
I believe the answer is:
campion
'pink flower' is the definition.
'campion' can be an answer for 'flower' (campion is a kind of flower). I am not certain of the 'pink' bit.
'victor avoiding hot' is the wordplay.
'victor' becomes 'champion' (I've seen this in another clue).
'avoiding' is a deletion indicator.
'hot' becomes 'h' (abbreviation, eg on taps).
'champion' with 'h' removed is 'CAMPION'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for campion that I've seen before include "Small flower; Thomas -, Elizabethan poet" , "Wild flower (red, white or bladder)" , "Edmund ---, martyr; Thomas ---, poet/lute composer" , "Here's one blooming" , "Film director" .)
