This plural noun appears in Song of Songs 2:12, where 'the blossoms appear in the land' signals spring's arrival. The scene paints nature awakening—flowers emerging alongside birdsong and new growth. The definite article ('the blossoms') suggests well-known seasonal blooms rather than generic flowers. This botanical imagery characterizes spring as the time of love and renewal, when creation comes alive with color and fragrance. The parallel with singing birds and pruning time situates these blossoms in early spring's agricultural calendar.
