Flower produced in passionate game (3-3,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

red-hot poker

'flower' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'passionate game' is the wordplay.
'passionate' becomes 'red-hot' (I've seen this in another clue).
'game' becomes 'poker' (poker game is a kind of game).
'redhot'+'poker'='RED-HOT POKER'

'produced in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for red-hot poker that I've seen before include "Flower (just out of the fire?)" , "Garden plant" , "Flower (found in the grate?)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
