The Flowers
Flowers are beautiful and come in different forms, sizes, colours and with differing aromas. Generally they all play the same role, in reproduction, which is essentially, to produce seed for onward germination and these seeds come packed in containers many enjoy consuming, packed with all kinds of nutrients, vitamins and minerals and yet others not fit for human consumption.
Flowers play a key role for some landscapers in beautifying gardens. for adding romance in relationships and for fruit enthusiasts, in the production of fruit.
My little orchard has lemons trees, mango trees, orange trees, loquat, bananas, peach trees, avocado trees and many other indigenous fruit trees.
The Pollinators
Pollination is whereby pollen from the male part of the flower is moved to the female part of the flower resulting in reproduction.
Movement of pollen from the male part to the female part of the flower can take place in various ways. Wind pollination and insect pollination are quite common ways a flower can be pollinated. Coming out of the winter season, many plants start to flower and as summer starts to peak, insects become fairly active, looking for nectar in flowers or simply enjoying other parts of the plants.
