Girl without dance partner (10)

I believe the answer is:

wallflower

(Other definitions for wallflower that I've seen before include "Plant; shy person" , "shy sort" , "Bloomer" , "Person waiting in vain to be asked to dance" , "attracts no attention" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
