blooming not in regular cycles
Etymology
'non-cyclical-blooming' is a modern English compound formed from the prefix 'non-' meaning 'not', 'cyclical' from Greek 'kyklos' meaning 'circle', and 'blooming' from Old English 'blōma' meaning 'flower'.
The term combines 'non-cyclical' (not occurring in cycles) and 'blooming' (flowering), and has been used in botanical contexts in recent decades.
Initially, the components meant 'not in cycles' and 'flowering', and together now refer to plants that do not bloom in regular cycles.
