Bloomer from Zulu having beer in AA (6)
I believe the answer is:
azalea
'bloomer' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'zulu having beer in aa' is the wordplay.
'zulu' becomes 'Z' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'having' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'beer' becomes 'ale' (type of beer).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'z'+'ale'='zale'
'zale' placed into 'aa' is 'AZALEA'.
'from' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for azalea that I've seen before include "Ericaceous plant" , "Rhododendron-like plant" , "Bright-flowered shrub" , "Garden shrub" , "Rhododendron relative" .)
