In botany, scapes
are flowering stems (peduncles),
usually leafless, rising from the crown or roots of a plant or
from a bulb or basal rosette at ground level with one flower.
Broadly speaking the term scape is used to indicate any stem
which supports the flowers, buds, and seed pods, and indicate a
wide number of quite different flowering stem structures and
inflorescences, some scapes show scales, foliaceous bracts and
sometimes even branches, and also scapes can have a single
flower or many flowers, depending on the species.
