reflower
Blossom a second
To reflower is to flower again, producing a second or subsequent bloom.
Some plants reflower naturally within a season; others can be encouraged to reflower through pruning or deadheading: Cut back the stems to get the roses to reflower in fall.
The word applies literally to plants and occasionally figuratively to revivals or renewals.
