Producing many or much, or large quantity; term which can be applied to many fields, from plants, to sports teams, to artists....and more, this word has many possible applications!

Writers do not seem to be quite as prolific; my guess being that it takes more time to write a marvelous book, than to complete a great painting, in general?

For enduring the number of extremely close fly-byes, the people who live in those homes,
should be given a prolific number of unlimited free tickets to fly as often as they wish;

after all, it isn't much out of the way , for the airline to pick them up!

Something that has often impressed and amazed me ...
is the prolific number of seeds produced from one individual, single plant.
For example, one maple tree, or one lilac shrub, or even one single annual flowering plant, such as a zinnia, produces a prolific number of viable seeds, for future plants.

In addition, adding to my astonishment and wonder, is my observation, that even one individual flower or blossom, on many plants, produces a prolific number of seeds.

Nature goes to such extremes to attempt to continue a species.
If you aren't certain you believe this, then stop and examine one dandelion flower, going to seed, the next time you walk by one!
