Put baked goods here with flowers (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

poppies

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

'flowers' is the definition.
(poppy is a kind of flower)

'put baked goods here' is the wordplay.
'put' is an insertion indicator.
'baked goods' becomes 'pie' (pie is a kind of baked goods).
'here' becomes 'pops' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'pie' inserted into 'pops' is 'POPPIES'.

'with' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for poppies that I've seen before include "Large bright flowers" , "Opium-yielding flower plants" , "Scarlet flowers" , "Sources of opium" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
