Microminiflorescence, the story of Inflorescence

As I walked among the lovely flowers growing within the splendiferously magnificent garden, I felt awed and greatly blessed. Glorious blooms of ethereal loveliness were sprouting their many and varied petals of proud and regal colorful varieties, happily smiling with the sun and sky.

I thought then of the alluring inflorescence of nature, captured within a group or cluster of flowers arranged in a stem. The typical arrangement of the branches, an umbrel, if you please, of the short and flowery limbs and stalks.

Is nature not wonderful, when she arranges the flower in the same lengths, from point to point, from stalk to stalk, perfection in its tiny inflorescence, with such an umbrella-like appearance.

Arrangements and characteristics, in plants such as parsley, dill, fennel, queen Annes's lace, all growing in a parasol-like tiny marshalling, inflorescence flourishing at its best.

Latin 'umbella' (parasol, after sunshade), Sanscript, andha-Avestan-anda (blind, dark), inflorescences get their meanings.

Inflorescence characteristics are largely a result of natural selection. Any flower in an inflorescence may be referred to as a floret, especially when the individual flowers are particularly small and borne in a tight cluster.

Is nature not the most beautifully orchestrated, harmonizingly lovely, flamboyantly showy and extravagant peacock-like mother to ever have blessed us with her ostentatiousness.

I would ask for nothing less.
