RDP # 33: Serried
Well. Now here’s a word I’ve never used.
Never even heard it, actually. Nonetheless, it’s not a bad word for a group of flowers on a stem.
Rather like my orchids, for example. Oh, I haven’t talked about the orchids lately, but they are still blooming.
No new ones (no new buds), but looking remarkably hardy. Orchids are nothing if not sturdy flowers.
So, here are some serried orchids for your consideration.

The orchids may be “serried,” but they’ll last for a month or more if they like you!

They’ve already held up for a couple of weeks. I’m hoping to get one or two more. They are very sturdy flowers.

I have read the word but it was one of those which was blurry in mind, so if someone demanded a definition I could have bumbled out something incorrect. Thanks for the reminder and lovely orchids.

I would never have chosen that word myself, but at least it came with a definition!

They last a LONG time when they finally bloom. That must be why we bother to grow them at all.

Never heard this word either, but it works with your flowers, quite nicely 🙂

Apparently, it exists because the spellchecker didn’t object. But if I’ve seen it, I’m sure I’ve never used it.

Honestly, for me it screamed “photograph.” Maybe you’ve got something in your archivese.

I was just glad I had a picture. If I’d actually had to WRITE something, I’d have been in trouble.
