Bluebells
Do not pick wild flowers in woods or
fields. These flowers were in a garden.
This flower is called
a bluebell. It flowers in
spring. Bluebells like to grow in woods.
Leaves make food for the
plant.
Leaves need sunlight, air and water to make food for
the plant. This is called photosynthesis.
The roots are
underground. They take up water
from the soil. They help the plant stand up too.
The flowers are on the stem. The stem helps the plant
stand up. The stem takes the food and water to the flowers.
This is a flower. Flowers
are made of petals.
The bright colour attracts insects like bees.
Insects eat
the nectar inside the flower.
The white and yellow parts are called
stamen.
They make pollen. Bees take the pollen to a
different flower.
The tube from the 'green ball' is the
stigma.
Pollen from a different plant sticks to the stigma .
This is called pollination.
All plants have seeds.
The 'green ball' is the ovary. The seed is
made in here. When the flower dies the seeds are left. The
seeds will grow into a new plant.
