Definition
A plant of the genus Scaevola, characterized by small flowers arranged in a fan-like shape at the end of the stem.
Etymology
From fan (noun) plus flower (Old English floure), a descriptive compound naming the plant for the distinctive arrangement of its small, colorful blooms.
Kelly Says
Fanflower got its name because the flowers point to one side like someone fanning themselves with a fancy hand-fan—when you actually see one, the asymmetrical bloom design is instantly recognizable and memorable.
