Reproved, going after golden flower (6)
I believe the answer is:
orchid
'flower' is the definition.
(orchid is a kind of flower)
'reproved going after golden' is the wordplay.
'reproved' becomes 'chid'.
'going after' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'golden' becomes 'or'.
'chid' after 'or' is 'ORCHID'.
(Other definitions for orchid that I've seen before include "Unusually shaped, beautifully coloured flower" , "Light bluish red" , "Beautiful exotic flower" , "Family of flowers with unusual shapes and beautiful colours" , "Chord I play for the flower" .)
