The flower is often the most beautiful part of a plant. People like to smell them and grow them around around the house. However the main reason that plants have flowers is to attract pollinators (e.g. insects or birds ) so that seeds can be produced that will grow into new plants. When identifying a plant it is important to look at the flower. Look at the size, colour and shape of the flower. Also try and smell whether the flower has scent or not.
