profusions

Overflowing amounts everywhere

Profusions is the plural of profusion, meaning abundant or lavish quantities of something.

The word suggests overflow or excess: profusions of wildflowers covered the hillside, profusions of apologies.

Where a single profusion emphasizes abundance as a quality, the plural often points to multiple instances or varieties of lavishness.
