Flowers are of many kinds. They synthesize and give way to the cause of plant life. The aim of the plant is proliferation and this is the raison d'être of the flower. The mixture of the two sexes produced in the flower brings fruit, that is, a container of seeds.
To carry out this mixture, each species has researched, developed and designed its own flower. It is the result of thousands of years of work, but they are constantly being renewed. R&D&i. Permanent adaptation to ensure the continuity of the descendants of their species in the future.
This plant work is yielding incredible results. One of the most spectacular is the family of those who have flowers or composites. The best known are daisy (Bellis perennis) and sunflower (Helianthus anuus). They're flowers that look like a daisy. They're really groups of flowers, inflorescences, in the language of botanists. The floral sets of the compounds are usually round and have flowers of two kinds: elongated flowers with a striking color on the outside – loves me, does not love me, loves me, no... –, and small flowers that fill the interior.

The circle where these exterior flowers are deposited, the destination to which they are going to go, will be shown to the archer as clear as his target. Those outer flowers that make an impressive circle are sterile. Their job is to make the battery attractive to bring bees to other flowers: they stretch and dress in color. They're willing to sterilize them so that the flowers next door can fertilize and give seeds.
In addition to the compounds, other plants also use this strategy: hydrangea sp. ), the relatives of the Viburnum opulus gaukar, etc. Some flowers are attractive or simple claims. He gave up his, the other. We split up. To marry.
