Are there any naturally occurring conjoined flowers?
As in multiple flowers coming from the same body, like branches coming from the same tree? 67.165.185.178 (talk) 17:47, 20 November 2022 (UTC).

 * No. I wonder if I'm thinking about bushes, that can have multiple flowers sprouting out? 67.165.185.178 (talk) 01:07, 21 November 2022 (UTC).
 * Depends on how close together you want them to be. Nearly every flowering plant produces many flowers at once. A bunch of flowers clustered together on one branch is an inflorescence. &#x2130; mi1y&#x29fc;T&middot;C&#x29fd; 08:56, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
 * What we think of as a single dandelion flower actually consists of many tiny flowers, packed tightly together on a joint base. Each individual tiny flower produces its own tiny seed with a stalk ending in a downy "parasol". --Lambiam 10:44, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
