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. | A '''flower''' is the reproductive organ of many [[plant]]s.
