Sentinels of Spring Canvas Prints
A flower, sometimes known as a bloom or blossom, is the reproductive structure found in flowering plants .The biological function of a flower is to effect reproduction, usually by providing a mechanism for the union of sperm with eggs. Some flowers produce diaspores without fertilization .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. The term implies that the plant probably is neither a hybrid nor a selected cultivar that is in any way different from the way it appears in the wild as a native plant, even if it is growing where it would not naturally. The term can refer to the flowering plant as a whole, even when not in bloom, and not just the flower In addition to facilitating the reproduction of flowering plants, flowers have long been admired and used by humans to beautify their environment, and also as objects of romance, ritual, religion, medicine and as a source of food. In modern times people have sought ways to cultivate, buy, wear, or otherwise be around People therefore grow flowers around their homes, dedicate entire parts of their living space to flower gardens, pick wildflowers, or buy flowers from florists who depend on an entire network of commercial growers and shippers to support their trade. Flowers and blooming plants are partly because of their agreeable appearance and smell. Flowers can also be made into herbal teas.
