I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'amazing things' is the definition.
'phenomena' can be an answer for 'things' (I have seen 'Wonderful things' mean 'phenomena' so perhaps 'things' could also mean 'phenomena'). I'm not sure about the 'amazing' bit.

'height seen during revolutionary flower power' is the wordplay.
'height' becomes 'h' (abbreviation in geometry).
'seen during' is an insertion indicator.
'revolutionary' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'flower' becomes 'anemone' (anemone is a kind of flower).
'power' becomes 'p'.
'anemone'+'p'='anemonep'
'anemonep' backwards is 'penomena'.
'h' put into 'penomena' is 'PHENOMENA'.
