abloom

Covered with flowers

Abloom means in bloom or flowering: The garden was abloom with roses.

The word is literary and somewhat old-fashioned, more likely to appear in poetry or romantic description than everyday speech.

It can extend figuratively to anything flourishing or at its peak: a face abloom with youth.
