Biennial

Real World Example

Imagine trying to perfect a recipe that requires you to cook the dish once, let it sit for a year, and then only after all that time can you finally enjoy it. This is similar to how biennial plants grow, as they spend the first year developing roots and leaves, and only in the second year do they bloom and produce flowers. Just like your patience in waiting to taste the dish after a long preparation period, biennial plants require a two-year cycle to complete their life span: the first year is dedicated to preparation and growth, and the second year is when they finally showcase their full potential.
