lushness

Rich green abundance

Lushness is the quality of being lush—rich, abundant, and thriving.

It most often describes vegetation: the lushness of a tropical rainforest, the lushness of the garden after spring rains.

The word extends to anything characterized by luxuriant fullness: the lushness of velvet fabric, the lushness of orchestral sound, the lushness of prose style.
