Flowers have attracted mankind since years and there is hardly anyone in this world who does not like flowers. Flower, also known as bloom, is loved by each and every human being, and its fragrance, arrangement and colors attract us the most, making us feel fresh and energising our mind.
 A flower is the reproductive structure of the flowering plants and its biological function is to mediate the union of the male sperm with female ovum to produce fruits and seeds. You will find flowering plants everywhere, in your home, gardens, farms, landscapes, forests and even in deserts and on mountains. Generally, flowers are used to decorate the room, for making garlands, for worshiping, on the funerals, for gifting to someone who is very special or for planting in the garden to feel their presence.
