Bluebells
Do not pick wild flowers in woods or fields.  These flowers were in a garden.

bluebells

This flower is called a bluebell.  It flowers in spring.  Bluebells like to grow in woods.

bluebell leaves are long and thin

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.

bluebells have lots of flowers on one stem

The flowers are on the stem. The stem helps the plant stand up.  The stem takes the food and water to the flowers.

bluebell flowers have 6 petals

This is a flower.  Flowers are made of petals.

The bright colour attracts insects like bees.  

Insects eat the nectar inside the flower.

Bluebell stamen

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.

Bluebells make seeds in the ovary

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.
