Wild flower: give to old drunk (3,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dog violet

'wild flower' is the definition.
(I know that dog violet is a type of wild flower)

'give to old drunk' is the wordplay.
'drunk' indicates anagramming the letters.
'give'+'to'+'old'='givetoold'
'givetoold' with letters rearranged gives 'DOG-VIOLET'.

(Other definitions for dog violet that I've seen before include "plant" , "Small bloomer" , "One grows wild" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
