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 currant. Racemes can vary in length and size, depending on the species. They are often found in flowering plants, contributing to the plant's reproductive process by attracting pollinators. The structure of a raceme helps maximize exposure to sunlight and air, which can enhance the plant's overall health and growth.
