I'm doing a quiz where all the cryptic answers flower names - eg You and I follow little animal - croc us and I'm having trouble with the following clues

Lonely when grown with onions (7)

Drop a rag into the beer (7)

Discovery land (9)

Break Gerogre's equipment (10)

Force between 2 animals - one deranged (8)

There is another one I'm unsure of

What's left when you take her cap off the cheese (6)

I'm sure the answer is lily - Caerphilly with "her cap" removed but it's the wrong number of letters. Anyone got any suggestions for that one or am I correct to assume that the number of letters shown is wrong ??
