efflorescences
Flowery outgrowths appearing
Efflorescences is the plural of efflorescence, which refers to a flowering or blooming—literally or figuratively.
In chemistry and construction, efflorescence is the crystalline deposit that forms when water evaporates from surfaces like brick or concrete, leaving salts behind: white efflorescences on the basement walls.
The term also describes any flourishing or outpouring: the cultural efflorescences of the Renaissance.
