<strong>Flower</strong> <strong>Shapes</strong><br />

<strong>Flower</strong>s without petals (apetalous)<br />

It is generally accepted that showy or fragrant petals function to<br />

interact with insect or mammal pollinators. Their job is to signal the<br />

pollinator of a potential flower find and in the process facilitate pollen<br />

transfer within or between flowers.<br />

<strong>Flower</strong>s that are wind pollinated tend to have reduced or no petals and<br />

therefore no obstructions between flying pollen and the stigma.<br />
