Flowers

For the higher plants, seeds are the next generation, and serve as the primary means by which individuals of a species are dispersed across the landscape.A flower, sometimes known as a bloom or blossom, is the reproductive structure found in flowering plants (plants of the division Magnoliophyta, also called angiosperms).In addition to serving as the reproductive organs of flowering plants, flowers have long been admired and used by humans, mainly to beautify their environment but also as a source of food.The grouping of flowers on a plant is called the inflorescence.The process begins with pollination, is followed by fertilization, leading to the formation and dispersal of the seeds.

The biological function of a flower is to mediate the union of male sperm with female ovum in order to produce seeds.

There was a time, when a lot of people knew about a lot of flowers.How often have you wondered: What’s that flower?Nobody around you seems to know the answer.The pace of city life tends to alienate the individual from mother nature, which brought him into existence in the first place.All of us like to look at those pretty flowers blooming all around, especially during winter and spring.

But for the city bred individual, flowers are only like pretty pictures.Remember that tree laden with yellow flowers, which hang like bunches of grapes?
