    we love flowers, how about you? Do you have a favorite flower? What color is it? Where do you find it?
    Why is it special to you? Flowers can be found in many different sizes, shapes, and colors. They can be as
    small as a penny or as big as a dinner plate. Their petals come in every color of the rainbow – red,
    orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and also brown, black, and white. Some of them give off a wonderful
    scent too (although not all of them – some of them actually are kind of stinky). Most times we see notice
    them in spring, summer, and fall, but in places where it is warmer, you might find some during the winter
    months too. Think back to the plants you have seen around your school or home. Do they all have
    flowers on them? The answer is no. Most plants have flowers, but there are some that do not. There are
    also some plants, especially some of our bigger trees that have small flowers that you may not recognize
    as flowers at all. So why do plants have flowers? How do they help the plant? Flowers have one very
    important job to do. Their job is to make seeds. Seeds grow into new plants and ensure that we have
    plenty of plants living in our environment. Plants are an important source of 2 ©2020 KidsGardening.org.

    this planet. Even though flowers on different plants do not look like each other, they are actually made
    up of the same parts including: • Petals: The often-colorful structures that surround the seed making
    parts. • Stamens: The parts that make pollen, small grain-like cells that are often yellow in color. • Pistil:
    The parts where the seeds actually grow. To make the seeds, the pollen from the stamens must be
    moved to the pistil. Sometimes the pollen moves from the stamens to the pistil on the same flower and
    sometimes it moves from the stamens on one flower to the pistils on another flower. In some cases, the
    pollen moves with the help of wind or water. Other times, animals like bees or butterflies help move the
    pollen from plant to plant. This process is called pollination. Flowers have many features to encourage
    pollinators to help them move pollen. At the base of the pistil of some types of flowers, pollinators can
    find sweet nectar to eat. Some pollinators also eat some of the pollen too. The bright colors and eye-
    catching patterns on petals also help flowers attract pollinators. From sunflowers to petunias, next time
    you stop to admire a beautiful flower, remember that it is hard at work! 3 ©2020 KidsGardening.org. All
