Definition
花卉 (huā huì) refers to flowering or ornamental plants as a category, often used in gardening, horticulture, or formal contexts. 花朵 (huā duǒ) is the general word for a single flower or blossom; 鲜花 (xiān huā) means fresh cut flowers (e.g., a bouquet). Unlike these, 花卉 emphasizes the plant as a whole, not just the bloom.
