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).
Flowers determine love:There is a system of pulling flowers apart petal by petal reciting “she loves me” and “she loves me not” to learn the truth about the sincerity of the significant other. Making spirits happy: To please the spirits of the dead many rich Romans grew huge rose gardens to provide petals for their grave sites.
