Wherein the flowers may be looking a bit tired? (3)
I believe the answer is:
bed
'tired?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with ownership as well as being past participle verbs.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'wherein the flowers may be looking a bit' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'be' is present in the answer.
A single letter 'd' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bed that I've seen before include "pit" , "Matrimonial duties" , "Couch" , "Piece of furniture" , "might be laid here" .)
