bloom
Rose in springtime
The core meaning of bloom is about the flowering of plants, the flowers themselves, or the time when they do this.
By figurative extension, bloom is used to suggest radiance, a period or instance of flourishing, or a sudden appearance of color: A bloom in his cheeks.
When algae or plankton bloom, they do not produce flowers, but rather proliferate greatly and sometimes dangerously for other life forms.
