Cool flower excited Gaelic Romeo (7)

I believe the answer is:

glacier

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

'cool flower' is the definition.
'glacier' can be an answer for 'flower' (I have seen 'River of ice' mean 'glacier' so perhaps 'river' could also mean 'glacier'). I am not sure about the 'cool' bit.

'excited gaelic romeo' is the wordplay.
'excited' is an anagram indicator.
'romeo' becomes 'r' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'gaelic' is an anagram of 'glacie'.
'glacie'+'r'='GLACIER'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for glacier that I've seen before include "Slowly moving mass of ice" , "River of ice" , "One creeps downhill" , "one goes slowly downhill" , "Slow-moving flow of ice" .)
