Bloom
* Some blooms also generate dangerous toxins
  - blaze by morning but yield the spotlight when the sun climbs high
* add vitality to any fresh-cut bouquet and even hold their color well when dried.
* appear before leaves
  - continuously from early summer to first frost
* appear in late spring through summer
  - summer and last until frost
* are about the size of a nickel
  - abundant throughout the entire growing season
  - almost continuously on the shrub during the growing season
  - classic hybrid tea form, with full, large buds that open to a high centered flower
  - distinct-varying in species composition and size
  - edible for salads and garnish
  - edible, either raw in salads or battered and sauteed
  - generally green or blue-green in color, although they can be brown or purple
  - good health
  - heaviest in early summer, but they keep coming all summer
  - large and reach their maximum potential where nights are cool and days warm
* are long lasting and can re-produce several times a year
  - vary in size
  - part of youth
  - responsible for life and the continuation of natural ocean processes
  - strong solid colors that first appear in late spring and continue until frost
  - tall spikes of big, deep blue flowers
  - usually beneficial events in the ecological calendar of a given body of water
* arrive every year and they bloom for months.
* attract bees, fruit taken by birds.
* can be single, clear color, such as yellow or blue
  - last from days to months - and sometimes longer than a year
  - literally cover the branches when conditions are ideal
  - occur at any time, but most often occur in late summer or early fall
* close each night at sunset or on dull days.
* come in all shapes and sizes
  - clusters of six or more and start as tightly furled light pink buds
  - many colors and can be solid colors or bi-colors
* containing microcystin are a problem worldwide in freshwater ecosystems.
* continue past early frost.
* exist only for short periods of time, usually a few hours at most.
* first appear in early summer and continue into early fall
  - continue into late summer
  - late spring and continue into early fall
* form globular clusters on strong stems.
* fruit and bloom blend designed to enhance the later stages of plant development.
* generally mark a convergence of factors that encourage plankton growth.
* have a high-center point
  - delicate appearance
  - four pollinia
  - light golden yellow centers with deep green hearts
  - thirty to thirty-five petals
* hold well in our bright sun.
* intensify in non-moving or stagnant water.
* is also a waxy substance found on the skins of grapes
  - crystalized oils that form in properly aging wrapper leaf
  - hailed as one of the major architects of modern neuroscience
  - the percent of plants with at least one open flower
* last a long time.
* naturally occur in golden, orange, yellow, and white colors, often with maroon highlights.
* occur in clean waters as well as in polluted waters.
* often begins in the fall and continues during warm periods until normal bloom time
  - consist of one species of phytoplankton that reproduce quickly
  - face several directions
* purely objective feature in an instrument's sound.
* show variation in each plant.
* spathe consisting of numerous, tiny, brown flowers.
* start during the first hot days of summer for several weeks.
* stir slightly in the humid air currents.
* uses a centrifuge to spin the blood sample at very high speed.
