A misplaced zeal because bloomers revealed

Ross

I believe the answer is:

azaleas

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

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

'a misplaced zeal because' is the wordplay.
'misplaced' indicates anagramming the letters.
'because' becomes 'as' (I've seen this in other clues).
'zeal' with letters rearranged gives 'zale'.
'a'+'zale'+'as'='AZALEAS'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for azaleas that I've seen before include "Smaller rhododendrons" , "Flowering shrubs" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
