floriferous

[flaw-rif-er-uhs]

adjective:

producing blossoms or bearing flowers

Explanation

Floriferous describes something that bears flowers, especially when they're abundant or particularly striking. A meadow in full bloom, a window box bursting with color, or even a houseplant showing off its first buds can all be called floriferous. It's a great word to celebrate spring flowers.

Example: Every spring, her garden becomes a floriferous display of purple, yellow, and red.
