Flowers

“Love flows like flowers, and grows like water. I’m so thirsty for romance I could drink a dozen roses.”
― Jarod Kintz

Flowers are presented as a show of affection such as flowers for Valentine's Day, flowers for mother's day and flowers for anniversaries. For centuries, flowers have also played an important part in our physical and mental well being too. Flowers have been used to stablise our emotions through the use of essential oils, eliminate bad odors, potpourri, use as an alternative to caffeinated tea, uplift our spirit and can sometime bring us out of depression.

What is A FLOWER?

FLOWER

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). The biological function of a flower is to effect reproduction, usually by providing a mechanism for the union of sperm with eggs.

Flowers may facilitate outcrossing (fusion of sperm and eggs from different individuals in a population) or allow selfing (fusion of sperm and egg from the same flower). Some flowers produce diaspores without fertilization (parthenocarpy). Flowers contain sporangia and are the site where gametophytes develop. Flowers give rise to fruit and seeds. Many flowers have evolved to be attractive to animals, so as to cause them to be vectors for the transfer of pollen.
