Nelson did a turn with wild flowers (10)

I believe the answer is:

dandelions

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

'wild flowers' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both plants as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'nelson did a turn' is the wordplay.
'turn' is an anagram indicator.
'nelson'+'did'+'a'='nelsondida'
'nelsondida' is an anagram of 'DANDELIONS'.

'with' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
