From where the flowers are, getting one a bloom (8)
I believe the answer is:
gardenia
'a bloom' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both plants as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'from where the flowers are getting one' is the wordplay.
'from where' becomes 'garden' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'the flowers' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'flowering' mean this (letters develop or 'flower' into another form)).
'are' becomes 'a' (short for 'are', historical unit of measurement).
'getting' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'a'+'i'='ai'
'ai' is an anagram of 'ia'.
'garden'+'ia'='GARDENIA'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for gardenia that I've seen before include "Drainage for shrub with white or yellow flowers" , "Bad drainage can produce a fragrant flower" , "Waxlike flower" , "bloomer!" , "Bad drainage produces a fragrant flower" .)
