A flower is known as a bloom or a blossom. It is the reproductive structure of the flowering plant.
Flowers are known to be decorative and have been used as such, by man, in various walks of life. Festive occassions are marked by a efflugence of these natural beautifiers. Flowers also are used by man in his day to day existence, as for poojas and hairdos.
These beautiful evolutions of nature have not been fully understood by man, so much so that the modern flower has been termed by Charles Darwin “The Abominable Mystery”. However, the fossils recovered in the days after him, have shown scientists how the modern flower evolved. (For more details referWikipedia(Flowers))
