Introduction
The life cycle brings forth new life in many different forms. I find the birth of any living organism to be an essential part of nature.
Flowers and plants play a significant role in many food chains. I think flowers and plants bring so much more. They are so different and unique. They bring peace, color, calmness and an array of smells. The life cycle of plants is true beauty of science.
