| It starts blooming in midsummer with huge panicles of showy, white florets surrounding smaller fertile flowers. |
| The outermost two rows of florets on the flower head opened and anthesed on the same day. |
| We used to help my grandmother gather the flowers, remove the green involucre from beneath the flowerhead and separate the rays, or florets. |
| Distinguishing characteristics are fully double, involute florets that are narrow and pointed. |
| Each of these flower stalks has fewer florets, but the plant as a whole is quite lovely. |
| Similarly, in freesia florets the increase in perianth sugars was more than 10 times higher than the decrease in starch content. |
