Regular flower

/ˈrɛɡjələr ˈflaʊər/ noun

Definition

A flower with radial symmetry, where the petals and other floral parts are arranged uniformly around a central axis. Also called actinomorphic, these flowers can be divided into equal halves by multiple planes passing through the center.

Etymology

From Latin 'regularis' meaning according to rule or pattern, used in botany to describe flowers with symmetrical, uniform arrangement of parts. The term emphasizes the geometric regularity and predictable pattern of floral organs.

Kelly Says

Regular flowers are nature's mandalas - you can spin them like a wheel and they look the same from multiple angles, which is why flowers like daisies and roses photograph beautifully from any direction!
