A raceme is a type of flower cluster in which individual flowers are attached by short stalks along a central stem. This arrangement allows the flowers to bloom sequentially from the bottom to the top, creating a visually appealing display. Common examples of plants that produce racemes include larkspur and foxglove. Racemes can vary in length and size, depending on the species. They are often found in flowering plants and can contribute to the plant's reproductive success by attracting pollinators. The structure of a raceme helps ensure that flowers are accessible to insects and other pollinators, facilitating the process of pollination.
