I’ve learned and witnessed that plants don’t start to bloom at 100% capacity.
They tend to have only a few blossoms bloom at the beginning.
To clarify (cause English ain’t my first language), with blossoms I mean the part of a plant that looks like a ‘flower’ that gets pollinated and grows to a fruit/seed.
So what I don’t quite understand is why. Why only have a few blossoms open up and grow at the beginning? Why not all of them at once?

Well it takes a lot of energy and in the beginning the plant hasn’t finished creating all the parts that will bloom yet.
But in certain conditions like a greenhouse with controlled light and nutrition the plant will bloom and flourish more than in the wild.
If all of your flowers open at once, the you need a lot of insects like Bees to pollinate then quickly in that short time.
It is better to have the flower over a long period of time, so one Bee has the time to visit all the flowers on the plant.
