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 mediate the union of male sperm with female ovum in order to produce seeds. The process begins with pollination, is followed by fertilization, leading to the formation and dispersal of the seeds. For the higher plants, seeds are the next generation, and serve as the primary means by which individuals of a species are dispersed across the landscape. The grouping of flowers on a plant is called the inflorescence. In addition to serving as the reproductive organs of flowering plants, flowers have long been admired and used by humans, mainly to beautify their environment but also as a source of food. Further information Pollination syndrome Flowering plants usually face selective pressure to optimise the transfer of their pollen, and this is typically reflected in the morphology of the flowers and the behaviour of the plants. Pollen may be transferred between plants via a number of 'vectors'. Some plants make use of abiotic vectors - namely wind (anemophily) or, much less commonly, water (hydrophily). Others use biotic vectors including insects (entomophily), birds (ornithophily), bats (chiropterophily) or other animals. Some plants make use of multiple vectors, but many are highly specialised.

5. Favorite Flowers
November 19, 2009
People ask me all the time, "What does my favorite flower say about me?"
The answer is: it depends.
The general intention you hold as you go through your day largely will determine the flowers you notice and are drawn to.
If you hold an intention for a long while, you may have this repeated attraction to a particular flower that will become a "favorite" to you. If you seek upliftment, you will be drawn to flowers that uplift (which is pretty much all flowers).
If you seek better health, you will be drawn to flowers that will help you find your way back to health.
