Page 1: Every flower begins as a bud. Their blooms produce seeds which root into sprouts. While all flowers share the same humble beginnings... Flap 1: Spring brings rain and warmer weather, which encourages plants to produce flowers.
Page 2: ...they come in a stunning range of brilliant hues and exceptional shapes. Flap 1: Many peony and poppy flowers open in sunlight, closing at night and on cloudy days. Flap 2: Jasmine flowers release their fragrance after the sun sets to attract nighttime pollinators. Flap 3: Annual plants have bright, showy blossoms that last a single season; perennial plants survive many years and tend to have smaller flowers.
Page 3: Some flowers have special colors and scents to attract bees for pollination. Flap 1: Bees turn nectar into honey to feed the colony. Flap 2: Many species of bees are endangered due to climate change, habitat loss, disease, and pesticides.
Page 4: Sweet floral nectar feeds tiny animals and insects. In return, they share their dusty gifts of pollen with other plants. Flap 1: More than 300 species of fruit depend on bats for pollination. Flap 2: When butterflies land on flowers, pollen is transferred to and from their legs. Flap 3: Hummingbirds can drink up to two times their body weight in nectar a day.
Page 5: Flowers produce fruits and seeds after pollination. Flap 1: Some seeds are airy enough to flit in the wind; others are carefully armored for years. Flap 2: When critters eat fruit, they deposit seeds in new areas through their droppings. Flap 3: Every fruit starts as a flower, but not every flower produces fruit!
Page 6: While some flowers grow on land, others flourish in water. Flap 1: Aquatic plants nurture wildlife by filtering water, creating oxygen, and providing shelter. Flap 2: Plants that grow in water often have flexible stems that either float freely or reach into the soil below.
Page 7: Life is enriched by flowers in many ways. With purpose and beauty, they help nature survive and thrive.
