That portion
of the growing season when a particular cultivar is
in bloom.
The seasons are categorized in rather loosely defined
periods, such as: EE, extra-early - the earliest flowers to
bloom; E, early - overlap or follow slightly behind
extra-early bloomers; EM, early to mid-season; M, midseason;
ML, midseason to the beginning of the later portion
of the bloom season; L, almost the end of the bloom
season; and VL, very late - the last flowers of the
bloom season.
