Definition
蓓 is a bound form (b.f.) meaning 'flower bud'. It almost never appears alone — you'll see it in the compound 蓓蕾 (bèilěi, 'bud'), which is the natural way to express this concept in modern Chinese. As a bound form, it functions like a morpheme within other words rather than as an independent word.
b.f.
(bound form) flower bud
