flowered + noun

用法筆記

Almost always used before a noun (attributive). You can say 'a flowered dress' but not normally 'the dress is flowered' — prefer 'has a flower pattern' for that frame.

The plant has flowered.
💡as an adjective, 'flowered' describes a pattern of flowers on fabric, not a plant in bloom; use the verb form for blooming.

💡for a garden that grows flowers, use the noun 'flower' before another noun, not the adjective 'flowered'.
