Flowers

A flower is really a plant’s way of making seeds, and its colors, scents and nectar exist to attract the bees, butterflies and other pollinators that carry pollen from bloom to bloom. Some flowers, like the dandelion, become fluffy seed heads that ride the wind. Follow the dandelion life cycle from sunny yellow bloom to puffball, or plan a garden that stays colorful all year with our list of top flowers for every month.
