flowerlike

/flˈaʊɚlˌaɪk/ adj

Resembling a flower, especially in shape

Word Origin Flowerlike combines flower (from Latin 'flos' 'bloom') and like 'similar to.' Flower goes back to a root meaning 'to thrive, bloom' — so it's the thriving part of a plant. Flowerlike means resembling that blossoming beauty. The same root gives us floral, flourish, and bloom.
