Flowers and Plants. More than any other of the major plant groups, flowering plants are ecologically related to animals.
Animals, including humans, and flowering plants are equally dependent upon each
other. Most flowering plants rely on animals, insects and birds for reproduction. Insects carry pollen from the stamens to the carpel's, birds participate in Pollination of some
flowering species.
Colorful Flowers. Animals are attracted to their colorful and aromatic flowers,
this ensures the dispersal and growth of the seeds.
Many fruits and seeds are also collected and consumed by humans,
and the seeds are planted in extensive programs of agriculture. Almost all plants used in agriculture are angiosperms.
Flowers come in all shapes, sizes and colors. Flowers add beauty to our gardens
and parks. |
