Homonym: Perennial (Evergreen)
The term "perennial" refers to plants that live for more than two years, often blooming multiple times throughout their lifespan. Unlike annuals, which complete their life cycle in one growing season, or biennials, which take two years, perennials can thrive for many years with proper care. Common examples of perennial plants include daylilies, hostas, and peonies.
In a broader context, "perennial" can also describe ideas, themes, or issues that are enduring and consistently relevant over time. For instance, topics like love, nature, and human rights are often considered perennial because they resonate across generations and cultures, remaining significant regardless of changing circumstances.
