A flower, sometimes known as a bloom or blossom, is the reproductive structure found in flowering plants & x28;plants of the division Angiospermae& x29;. 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 & x28;fusion of sperm and eggs from different individuals in a population& x29; resulting from cross-pollination or allow selfing & x28;fusion of sperm and egg from the same flower& x29; when self-pollination occurs.
