Blooms

/blumz/ noun, verb

Definition

Flowers or colorful flowers that have opened on a plant; or the action of flowering and blossoming.

Etymology

From Old English 'bloma' and Old Norse 'blóm,' both meaning 'flower or blossom.' The word originally referred to a single flower and evolved to describe the flowering process itself.

Kelly Says

Scientists have discovered that flowers bloom at specific times called 'phenological blooming,' and climate change is shifting these dates, which confuses insects and can damage entire ecosystems dependent on that timing!
