Etymology
'single-blooming' originates from the combination of 'single,' meaning 'one' or 'individual,' and 'blooming,' derived from 'bloom,' which means 'to produce flowers.'
'single-blooming' evolved from the Middle English word 'blome,' which referred to a flower or blossom, combined with 'single' to specify the frequency of blooming.
Initially, it meant 'producing one flower,' but over time it evolved to mean 'producing flowers once in a season or year.'
