Egg plants? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ovaries

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

'egg plants?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both plants as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'egg plants?' is the wordplay.
'egg' becomes 'o' (an 'o' resembles an egg).
'plants?' becomes 'varies' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'o'+'varies'='OVARIES'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ovaries that I've seen before include "egg production unit" , "Egg-producing organs in female animals" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
