Beautifil Flowers Wallpaper Pack 1
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.
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.
