         DefinitionShort: the blossom of a plant

         Glosses: flower

         Comments: In some languages it may be difficult to use generic expressions such as ‘flower’ or ‘plant.’ One may therefore be obliged to use a more specific designation of a type of flower which lasts for only a day or so. In {S:05900101000020} it is the fragile and temporary nature of the blossom which is important in this figurative context.
