A Brilliant New Word
Discovered this amazing poppy in the backyard this morning, newly opened.
Reminded me of a beautiful word I recently learned:
INFLORESCENCE
in·flo·res·cence; inflôˈresəns
noun
1. the arrangement of the flowers on a plant
2. the process of flowering
As in:
“Plants have very different inflorescence architectures.”
or
“I caught a scarlet poppy this morning throwing flames back at the sun, made bold by her inflorescence.”
Try one.
It’s fun.
p.s. I didn’t enhance the above photo an iota.
