Flowers or grass being munched may dangle from them

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cowslips

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

'flowers' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both plants as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'grass being munched may dangle from them' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'being' could be 'slip' (slip is a kind of being) and 'slip' is present in the answer.
'from' could be 'o' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'o' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

'or' is the link.

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" .)
