Flowering plants are the crown of the plant kingdom. And flowers themselves are the special jewels in the crown. Flowers may be tubular or open faced. They may smell sweet or pungent. The may be colorful or drab. They may have large petals or none at all. The primary pollinators of flowers are insects, but wind, bats, water, and birds all pollinate flowers.
