Flowering and lack of pollination-almost my favourite subjects! Ree-greets to all.abscence was necessary-hope you are all well,and prepared for winter-take care-

Like animals, plants must make babies. Flowering plants have spectacular sex organs: flowers! (So be careful where you put your nose). The purpose of flowers is to con some poor bird or insect to carry the pollen from one flower to another so that the plants can make babies (fruit). Unlike animals, these babies - the fruit - can be stored (in cones, where they are safe from fire and some predators) or hidden (by conning ants or rats to bury them underground), or just discarded on the ground to survive there.
