What gardener may be seeing new genre identified (5-8)
I believe the answer is:
green-fingered
'identified' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'what gardener may be seeing new genre' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'new' could be 'green' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'green' is found within the answer.
an anagram of 'genre' is 'ngere' which is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'fid' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for green-fingered that I've seen before include "Adept at gardening" , "Possessing natural gardening skills?" , "Having aptitude at growing plants" , "Able to make plants grow well" , "With a talent for growing things" .)
