Bit of a bloomer breaking into grandiose palace (5)
I believe the answer is:
sepal
'bit of a bloomer' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'into grandiose palace' is the wordplay.
'into' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'SEPAL' can be found hidden inside 'grandiose palace'.
'breaking' acts as a link.
This may not be correct. It may belong to another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sepal that I've seen before include "bit of a bloomer" , "Green part that forms a flower's calyx" , "Violet" , "Part of a flower's outer envelope" , "flowery bit" .)
