Flowers become fruits: For the higher plants, seeds are the next generation, and serve as the primary means by which individuals of a species are dispersed across the landscape. After fertilization, a flower develops into a fruit containing the seed(s).
Symbolic meanings:Many flowers have important symbolic meanings in Western culture. The practice of assigning meanings to flowers is known as floriography. Time to prune roses: Around March, just before the early spring growth begins, is the best time to prune the roses.
