Pleased in the past with flowers round my person (8)
I believe the answer is:
gladsome
'pleased in the past' is the definition.
(archaic term meaning pleased)
'with flowers round my person' is the wordplay.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'flowers' becomes 'glads' (gladioli).
'round' becomes 'o' (round can mean a round object).
'my person' becomes 'me' (myself).
'glads' put next to 'o' is 'gladso'.
'gladso'+'me'='GLADSOME'
(Other definitions for gladsome that I've seen before include "happy" , "Joyful" , "Delighted" .)
