A '''flower''' is the reproductive organ of many [[plant]]s.  A typical flower will have the male gametes, or [[pollen]], held on small stalks which make it easy for the pollen to leave the flower for [[pollination]], either via air currents or animal vectors ([[insect]]s and [[bird]]s).  The female gametes, which are the future [[seed]]s, are be contained in the base of the flower, and pollen grains that are transported there merge with them to form the next generation.

Plants that produce flowers are called [[flowering plant]]s, or angiosperms.  Not all [[baraminology|kinds]] of plants are thus classified; for example, [[fern]]s produce [[spore]]s rather than flowers and are therefore not classified as angiosperms.
