Way a person cut a flowering plant (9)
I believe the answer is:
stonecrop
'a flowering plant' is the definition.
'stonecrop' can be an answer for 'plant' (stonecrop is a kind of plant). I'm not certain of the 'a flowering' bit.
'way a person cut' is the wordplay.
'way' becomes 'st' (short for street).
'a person' becomes 'one' (an individual).
'cut' becomes 'crop' (cropping is a kind of cutting).
'st'+'one'+'crop'='STONECROP'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for stonecrop that I've seen before include "It blooms" , "Plant growing on rocks" , "wall flower" , "Wall-growing plant; soon crept (anag.)" , "Bloomer" .)
