Flowers are the reproductive parts of plants. The formation and union of gametes occur in flowers. Most flowers have both male and female features. However, self-pollination is not the ideal reproduction method of plants. Generally, insects help in the pollination of plants by transferring pollen grains from one flowering plant to another of same species. Human beings, on the other hand, have been purposely breeding plants through cross pollination for centuries.
Flowers are the reproductive parts of plants. Hence, it is an appropriate coincidence that flowers are used in the
dating ritual. Flowers are also used in
gourmet food preparations as decorations or as main ingredient.
Some flowers are seasonal while some are perennials. Chrysanthemum is an example of a perennial flower. Chrysanthemum is actually a genus of about 30 species in the family Asteraceae. Formerly, this genus included many more species, but the other species had been classified into other genera several decades ago.
Chrysanthemum flowers occur in various forms that can be fashioned into different decorative designs. On the other hand, chrysanthemums are also used in some culinary preparations. The flowers are boiled to make a sweet drink in some parts of Asia.
