lush
Overgrown and thriving
Lush describes vegetation that grows thick, green, and healthy: lush tropical forests, a lush lawn.
The meaning extends to anything rich and luxuriant—lush fabrics, lush orchestration, lush prose.
Separately, lush is slang for a heavy drinker or drunk, probably from an old slang term for alcohol.
