Definition
朵朵 is the reduplicated form of the classifier 朵 (duǒ), used for flowers, clouds, and similar items that come in heads or clusters. Reduplication emphasizes 'every single one' or 'clusters of' — it adds a descriptive, often poetic feel. You'll see it before a noun without a number: 朵朵白云 ('clusters of white clouds') or 朵朵鲜花 ('every flower').
