DEFINITION
A flower, sometimes known as a bloom or blossom, is the reproductive structure found in flowering plants (plants of the division Magnoliophyta, also called angiosperms). The biological function of a flower is to effect reproduction, usually by providing a mechanism for the union of sperm with eggs. Flowers may facilitate outcrossing (fusion of sperm and eggs from different individuals in a population) or allow selfing (fusion of sperm and egg from the same flower). Some flowers produce diaspores without fertilization (parthenocarpy). Flowers contain sporangia and are the site where gametophytes develop. Flowers give rise to fruit and seeds. Many flowers have evolved to be attractive to animals, so as to cause them to be vectors for the transfer of pollen. In addition to facilitating the reproduction of flowering plants, flowers have long been admired and used by humans to beautify their environment, and also as objects of romance, ritual, religion, medicine and as a source of food.
Florists often use a wide variety of flowers when creating an arrangement. Normally, a bouquet will consist of the featured or main blooms and an assortment of filler flowers to accent the main blooms. Florists often try to explain what certain flowers look like to their customers over the phone, but this can be a difficult process. Below, we have listed 39 different types of flowers which florists often use to help you understand the common types of flowers which are sent when you buy flowers.
