Flower

        Once a plant is full grown, it produces the flower.  The flower’s job is to look pretty so insects and birds eat the flower’s nectar.  In turn the insects and birds carry pollen from flower to flower.  Once the flower is pollinated it can make a seed. The flower will swell and turn into a fruit. Eventually the fruit will die and the seed will fall to the ground or be carried away.  This begins a new plant life cycle.
