flower clusters

Bunches of blossoms

Flower clusters are arrangements of multiple blooms grouped together on a single stem or branch.

The term appears in gardening and botany to describe how flowers grow—some plants produce solitary flowers, others produce clusters.

The hydrangea's large flower clusters make it a garden favorite.
