Flower head

The head contains many florets, not just one flower.

Flowers are not universal

Sunflower, broadleaf tree, grass, cactus, pea and lotus are flowering forms. Fern and moss life cycles use spores; pine has seeds on cone scales and does not make fruits.

Explore by touch or keyboard

Rotate a specimen and tap its coloured dots. The labelled buttons select the same parts with a keyboard. Reset returns the model to its starting view. The flowering-plant diagram remains available above.
