Bloomer in newspaper with female getting humble (9)
I believe the answer is:
sunflower
'bloomer' is the definition.
(type of flower)
'newspaper with female getting humble' is the wordplay.
'newspaper' becomes 'sun' (UK newspaper The Sun).
'with female' becomes 'f' (common abbreviation. I am not sure about the 'with' bit.).
'getting' says to put letters next to each other.
'humble' becomes 'lower' (I've seen this in another clue).
'sun'+'f'+'lower'='SUNFLOWER'
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sunflower that I've seen before include "Large golden bloom" , "Plant's" , "that Van Gogh used to paint" , "seen in Van Gogh's art" , "nickname of US State" .)
