flors

Flors is the plural noun in Catalan for flowers. The singular form is flor. Flors is feminine, and it appears with definite and indefinite articles such as les flors and unes flors. The term is widely used in Catalan writing and speech to refer to flowering plants in general.

In botany, a flower is the reproductive structure of flowering plants (angiosperms). A typical flower contains an outer calyx of sepals and an inner corolla of petals, plus reproductive organs: stamens (the male organs) and pistil or carpels (the female organs). Flowers enable sexual reproduction through pollination and fertilization, and their form and color often attract pollinators such as insects or birds. Inflorescences, or clusters of flowers, can vary greatly in arrangement and appearance.

Flors are central to horticulture and agriculture. They are cultivated for ornamental use in gardens and bouquets, and many crops rely on flowers to produce fruits or seeds. The diversity of flors—from simple to highly complex structures—reflects a wide range of ecological adaptations, pollination strategies, and cultural meanings. In Catalan culture, references to flors appear in art, literature, and public life; notable examples include festivals and floral displays, such as Temps de Flors in Girona, which celebrate living installations of flowers.

The term flors is part of Catalan vocabulary related to flora and botany. Related words include flor (singular) and cognates in other Romance languages, such as flor in Spanish and fleur in French.
