Why do plants grow flowers?

the flowers of angiosperms have reproductive organs that produce seeds after pollination/fertilisation.

FlowersBirthday FlowersSympathy FlowersFlowers allow a plant to reproduce, giving an organ that will be the vessel to combine the genetics of the species and allow it to reproduce with a high level of individual diversity. Some plants are male and female, like the Ilex (holly). Some have male and female on the same plant, like many trees. When the male flowers are higher than the female they can self pollinate but to the disadvantage of lower diversity while some with female flowers higher will be less likely to self pollinate and have a greater diversity. Some plants have both male and female parts on the same flower and they will be diverse or not depending on wind and insects, or lack of them. Some plants can change from one to another, and some plants will decide if they are male or female depending on the environment. In the end it is all procreation.
Reply:it is the reproductive part of the plant. there is the pollin, the male part, and the stigma, female part(both in one single plant). bees and other animals help by %26quot;accidentally%26quot; collecting some pollin, and when they go to another plant%26#039;s flower, the pollin sticks to the stigma, and then the pollin goes down the stigma%26#039;s tube into the ovary of the flower, which then fertilizes one of the eggs inside, causing a seed to grow, so now there is another plant to grow. the reason flowers are so colorful is because they try to attract animals to reproduce.
