Whois & Analysis for americanmeadows.com

A wildflower (or wild flower) is a flower that grows in the wild, meaning it was not intentionally seeded or planted.

Yet "wildflower" meadows of a few mixed species are sold in seed packets.

The term implies that the plant probably is neither a hybrid nor a selected cultivar that is in any way different from the way it appears in the wild as a native plant, even if it is growing where it would not naturally.

The term can refer to the flowering plant as a whole, even when not in bloom, and not just the flower.

A perennial plant or simply perennial is a plant that lives for more than two years.

The term ( + , "through the years") is often used to differentiate a plant from shorter-lived annuals and biennials.

The term is also widely used to distinguish plants with little or no woody growth from trees and shrubs, which are also technically perennials.

A flower, sometimes known as a bloom or blossom, is the reproductive structure found in plants that are floral (plants of the division Magnoliophyta, also called angiosperms).

The biological function of a flower is to effect 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) or allow selfing (fusion of sperm and egg from the same flower).

Some flowers produce diaspores without fertilization (parthenocarpy).

Flowers contain sporangia and are the site where gametophytes develop.

Many flowers have evolved to be attractive to animals, so as to cause them to be vectors for the transfer of pollen.

After fertilization, the ovary of the flower develops into fruit containing seeds.

In botany, a bulb is structurally a short stem with fleshy leaves or leaf bases that function as food storage organs during dormancy.

(In gardening, plants with other kinds of storage organ are also called "ornamental bulbous plants" or just "bulbs").

A seed is an embryonic plant enclosed in a protective outer covering.

The formation of the seed is part of the process of reproduction in seed plants, the spermatophytes, including the gymnosperm and angiosperm plants.
