Sea fire affected Bloom? (7)
I believe the answer is:
freesia
'bloom?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both plants as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'sea fire affected' is the wordplay.
'affected' indicates anagramming the letters.
'sea'+'fire'='seafire'
'seafire' anagrammed gives 'FREESIA'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for freesia that I've seen before include "Scented plant from South Africa" , "Highly scented flower" , "bloomer" , "Scented South African plant" , "Fragrant flower (sounds rather cold?)" .)
