Growing Plant with Flowers

• Plants need flowers for reproduction.
• Flowers produce male cells called pollen and
  female cells called ovules (eggs).
• The pollen has to get to the ovules for the plant
  to produce seeds from which new plants will grow.

7
Pollination

• Getting the pollen to the ovule is called
  pollination. Pollination can be carried out by
  insects or the wind.

8
Petals and Nectar

• Some plants are
• pollinated by insects.
• The large colorful petals
• and the nectar attract
• insects to the flowers.
• The plant's pollen then
• sticks to the insects and
• they carry it to the next
• plant they visit.

• Other plants have small petals and stamens
  outside their petals. Some plants are pollinated
  by the wind so that the pollen can be blown off
  by the wind easily. It has light pollen that can
  be carried a long way on the wind.
