Flowers are the part of the plant where seeds are made.
Most flowers have bright petals and a sweet scent.
To make the seeds, affine yellow dust called pollen has to be carried from one flower to another.
Insects, or the wind, do this job.
*pollen 花粉
Flowers produce a sweet liquid called nectar which many insects like to drink.
The flowers’ colour and scent draw them to the nectar.
*nectar 花蜜
As an insect drinks, pollen sticks to its body.
When the insect visits another flower this pollen rubs off onto it and pollinates it.
