R is For Raceme


The last A To Z post for week 3 of the A To Z Challenge is given to the letter R.

And today's previously unknown word is:

raceme (rass-eem) n bot a cluster of flowers along a central stem, as in the foxglove [Latin racemus bunch of grapes]

I'm not particular green fingered, so that is probably why I'd never heard of this word (but I did know what a foxglove was).

See you on Monday!

One of those words I might have heard but not sure about.

Not heard of it either and Mr A's fingers are quite green!
