Women’s hen party reorganised to include Mike and Daphne, perhaps (5,5)

I believe the answer is:

water nymph

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'daphne perhaps' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'women's hen party reorganised to include mike' is the wordplay.
'women' becomes 'w' (standard abbreviation).
'reorganised' is an anagram indicator.
'to include' indicates putting letters inside.
'mike' becomes 'M' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'w'+'hen'+'party'='whenparty'
'whenparty' with letters rearranged gives 'waternyph'.
'waternyph' placed around 'm' is 'WATER-NYMPH'.

'and' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for water nymph that I've seen is " Naiad".)
