Flower that only lives in the light? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

daisy

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

'flower' is the definition.
(daisy is a kind of flower)

'only lives in the light?' is the wordplay.
'only lives' becomes 'is' ('be' can be a synonym of 'live'. I am not sure about the 'only' bit.).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'the light?' becomes 'day' (I've seen this in other clues).
'is' inserted inside 'day' is 'DAISY'.

'that' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for daisy that I've seen before include "girl" , "Composite" , "chain, just the smallest bit?" , "Plant; girl's name" , "Common wildflower" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
