Bloomers — lower garments (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cowslips

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

'bloomers lower garments' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'lower garments' is the wordplay.
'lower' becomes 'cow' (something which lows - makes cow sounds).
'garments' becomes 'slips' (slip is a kind of garment).
'cow'+'slips'='COWSLIPS'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cowslips that I've seen before include "pretty yellow flowers for unsteady bovine" , "Wild yellow flowers for unsteady bovines" .)
