A flower, sometimes known as a bloom or blossom, is the reproductive structure found in flowering plants plants of the division Angiospermae. The biological function of a flower is to facilitate reproduction, usually by providing a mechanism for the union of sperm with eggs. Flowers may facilitate outcrossing fusion of sperm and eggs from different individuals in a population resulting from cross-pollination or allow selfing fusion of sperm and egg from the same flower when self-pollination occurs.
