English flower placed in empty nest (4)

I believe the answer is:

tyne

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

'english flower' is the definition.
'tyne' can be an answer for 'flower' (river in the North East of England). I am not certain of the 'english' bit.

'placed in empty nest' is the wordplay.
'placed in' indicates a hidden word.
'TYNE' is hidden within 'empty nest'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tyne that I've seen before include "Gateshead's river" , "North of England river" , "Flower" , "River of NE England" , "Northumbrian river" .)
