Floral phenology, bud mass, and surface area data was collected from at least 6 individuals of five species. Phenology and mass data were used to determine water uptake throughout bud development. Surface area data was used to standardize gas exchange measurements in a related dataset.Attribution 3.0 United Statesinflorescenceflowerphenologyfloralbudwater contentDatasethttps://doi.org/10.13020/ewac-3896
