The Small Flowers in a Bunch Are Called?

The small flowers that grow or are arranged together in a bunch are commonly referred to as “florets” or “inflorescences”, depending on the context.

• Florets: These are tiny individual flowers that are part of a larger flower head, commonly seen in flowers like sunflowers, daisies, and chrysanthemums.
• Inflorescence: This is a botanical term describing a cluster or group of flowers growing from a single stem or branch.

In floristry, these small flowers are also called spray flowers, often used to complement larger blooms in bouquets.
