How it's used
While 盛開 is understood in Cantonese, it carries a slightly more formal or literary tone compared to everyday speech. In casual conversation, locals are much more likely to use the simpler phrase 開得好靚 or 開到好大朵 to describe flowers in peak condition. Using 盛開 often implies a more descriptive or poetic intent, such as in writing or when admiring a garden.
