sproutings

Seeds beginning life

Sproutings are instances of sprouting—the emergence of new growth from seeds, bulbs, or established plants.

The word appears in gardening and agricultural contexts: The early sproutings appeared after just three days.

It can also describe figurative beginnings: the first sproutings of a new artistic movement.
