I am looking for an English word that describes the growth of a plant.

The thing plants do where they unfurl their leaves, their stems get longer, they grow new shoots, etc etc etc. Hubby says there's no one word for it (heck, I can't even really imagine one in Norwegian). Germination is kind of the stage before the word I'd want.

I can't really think of one either. Here (http://hcs.osu.edu/hcs300/devel1.htm) is a page on plant development that just talks about "growth" a lot.
