The flowers are often at the tip of the stem and are mainly of a rather generalized ' lily type ', with six tepals and up to six stamens.

* The flowers of Asparagales are of a general type among the lilioid monocots.

They are commonly called " Christmas Bells ", because of the shape of their flowers and their flowering time, which coincides with Christmas in Australia.

The flowers are radially symmetrical.

The individual flowers are small, with tepals joined at the base.

The individual flowers are blue, shortly tubular, with an inferior ovary.

The sub-umbellate inflorescences are borne at the end of long stems, having numerous bright red flowers, which are radially symmetric with inferior ovaries.

Members of the family are usually perennial herbs with sword-shaped unifacial leaves ; the inflorescence is a spike or panicle of solitary flowers, or forms a monochasial cyme or rhipidium ( meaning that the successive stems of the flowers follow a zig-zag path in the same plane ); and the flower has only three stamens, each opposite to an outer tepal.

The flowers are arranged in various types of inflorescence.

The flowers are quite large, blue or white, forming an umbel at the end of a stem ( scape ) which is longer than the leaves.

They are herbaceous perennials with bulbs, and can be identified by their rather fleshy leaves, usually large and attractive flowers, with six stamens and an inferior ovary.

The flowers are solitary or, more frequently, arranged in umbellate inflorescences at the end of a stem ( scape ).

Proposed subgroups are difficult to recognise, having similar ' lily-like ' flowers, with the result that some members of the group have been included in different subgroups at different times.

Several genera are popular with the horticultural community, including marigold, pot marigold ( also known as calendula ), cone flowers, various daisies, fleabane, chrysanthemums, dahlias, zinnias, and heleniums.

The flowers are nearly always aggregated in terminal umbels, simple or compound, often umbelliform cymes, rarely in heads.

The flowers are nearly perfectly pentamerous, with 5 petals, sepals, and stamens.

The flowers are catkins, produced in spring.

The flowers are monoecious, opening with or before the leaves and borne once fully grown these leaves are usually 3-6 mm long on three-flowered clusters in the axils of the scales of drooping or erect catkins or aments.

*" Birch flowers " is the English marketing name for the catkins of the Broussonetia luzonica tree.

The family Fagaceae, or beech family, comprises about 900 species of both evergreen and deciduous trees and shrubs, which are characterized by alternate simple leaves with pinnate venation, unisexual flowers in the form of catkins, and fruit in the form of cup-like ( cupule ) nuts.

The staminate flowers are borne in catkins that develop from the leaf axils of the previous year, and the pistillate flowers develop from the axils of the current year's leaves.

Willows are dioecious, with male and female flowers appearing as catkins on different plants ; the catkins are produced early in the spring, often before the leaves, or as the new leaves open.

The male cylindrical catkins are developed from leafless shoots from the past year ; they are about 10 cm in length and have a large number of little flowers.

The flowers are small single-sex ( monoecious ), the female flowers borne in pairs, the male flowers wind-pollinating catkins, produced in spring shortly after the new leaves appear.

The flowers are wind-pollinated pendulous catkins, produced in spring.

The male and female flowers are on separate catkins, but on the same tree ( monoecious ).

The staminate flowers develop from leaf axils of the previous year and the catkins emerge before or at the same time as the current leaves in April or May.

The flowers are wind-pollinated, and monoecious, with staminate and pistillate catkins on the same tree ; the male catkins are pendulous, up to long ; the female catkins are small, with three to six flowers clustered together.

Over the rapidly-diminishing outline of a jump seat piled high with luggage Herry's black brushcut was just discernible, near, or enviably near that spot where -- hidden -- more delicately-textured, most beautifully tinted hair must still be streaming back in cool, oh cool wind sweetly perfumed with sagebrush and yucca flowers and engine fumes.

The subfamily can be easily recognized by its characteristic smell ( the smell of garlic and onions, singular enough to be called " garlic odour "), by the very soft, fleshy leaves and the umbel-like inflorescence at the end of a stem ( scape ), which has small to medium flowers with a superior ovary.
