Flowers are among Nature’s most astonishing creations. Flowering plants have a reproductive advantage that has allowed them to dominate the world. Humans and many other animals are dependent for their survival on the food these plants produce. We will condense the history of plant evolution for you, talk about how flower parts developed from earlier plant structures, and examine the parts of real flowers. Then we will look outside for trees in flower on the Reservation.
