Introduction to Flowers

Flowers are parts of plants that help them reproduce. They are important in pollination, which allows plants to grow and spread. Flowers have parts like petals, sepals, stamens, and pistils, and each part helps in reproduction. Flowers come in many shapes, sizes, and colors, and people admire them for their beauty and role in nature. Common flowers names include roses, daisies, sunflowers, and tulips, which each have their own unique traits.

Flowers are not just for nature—they are also meaningful in cultures around the world. They show emotions, celebrate traditions, and hold special meanings. From bright marigolds to elegant lilies, flowers add beauty to the environment and enrich human life.

Flowers Names through a Poem

“In a garden, flowers grow,
Let’s learn their names as we go.
Roses red and daisies white,
Sunflowers reaching for the light.
Tulips bright and lilies fair,
Lavender scents fill the air.
Daffodils like sunshine’s gold,
Marigolds with stories told.
Orchids in a pretty row,
Watch them all and see them grow.”
