WHAT DOES ANTHESIS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

anthesis

Anthesis

Anthesis is the period during which a flower is fully open and functional. It may also refer to the onset of that period. The onset of anthesis is spectacular in some species. In Banksia species, for example, anthesis involves the extension of the style far beyond the upper perianth parts. Anthesis of flowers is sequential within an inflorescence, so when the style and perianth are different colours, the result is a striking colour change that gradually sweeps along the inflorescence. Flowers with diurnal anthesis generally have brightly colored flowers to attract diurnal insects, such as butterflies. Flowers with nocturnal anthesis generally have white or less colorful flowers, that contrast more strongly with the night. These flowers typically attract nocturnal insects including many moth species.

Definition of anthesis in the English dictionary
