How about. Crowing of Crocosmia for their coxcombs?

Yes, yes, yes! What fun. Some of these are quite wonderful. I very much admire Jim McK's "peal of campanulas" and John's "cloudburst of rainlilies"
Myself I'd tweak congratulation to "congregation of crocus"
How about a "coinage of eranthis" for their golden yellow flowers scattered as the snow melts
Does a "fragrance of lilacs" evoke more context? No, perhaps that is too much like a regular phrase / ordinary language
Anyone else want to play this game?
