A corymb is a type of flower cluster where the individual flowers are arranged on short stems that extend from a central point. This structure allows the flowers to bloom at different heights, creating a flat-topped or rounded appearance. Corymbs can be found in various plant species, including elderberry and spiraea. In a corymb, the outer flowers bloom first, while the inner flowers open later. This arrangement helps attract pollinators by providing a more visible and accessible display. Corymbs are often seen in gardens and natural landscapes, contributing to the overall beauty and diversity of plant life.
