Well it depends on the plant. Generally you want to deadhead a old flower to force other flowers to bloom. But this means that there will not be seeds. Sometimes this is a good thing and sometimes this is not. For example, I generally deadhead my daylilies. But if I was hybridizing, I would not do this because I would want the seeds to start a new kind of daylily.

How do you stop bees taking your pollen?
The bees are looking for nectar. The pollen sticks to their feet and bodies, dropping off as they travel from flower to flower. If you do not want this to happen, cover the plant with fine mesh and that will keep them away. Or, cut off the flowers. If it is a fruit tree, particularly citrus, the plant will not fruit.
Why does a plant flower?
To give off pollen and its reproductive cells.
If all the flowers are picked off of the plant what happens?
Generally the plant will grow more flowers because the others were picked off before they could form seeds. Other plants will just try again next year.
What is dead heading and when should it be done?
Dead heading is when the flower on your plant has died, you have to pull it off in order for new flowers to grow in its place. It should be done when the flower on the plant has died. You just pull off the flower part, not the whole stem.

How does cotton go from plant to cotton?
Cotton is a bushy plant that is grown in different parts of the United States. In CA we plant our cotton by seed in the early spring and it grows all summer. The cotton plant has a flower that blooms and this flower becomes a cotton boll. The cotton boll is picked in late fall with a mechanical cotton picker. Before this can be done the plant has to be killed and this is done through a chemical application sprayed on the plant. After the plant is dead the machine goes through the field pulling the cotton off the boll. This takes several times to get all the cotton and it is put into big trailers that hold the loose picked cotton. It is then taken to a cotton gin where it is ginned, the seeds removed and baled. The seeds are used to plant the next year for the new crop of cotton.
If the hyacinth flower is cut off will it kill the bulb?
No it will not. But don't cut all the leaves off with the flower. Let the leaves stay on the plant until they turn yellow and wither. They're needed to produce food for the bulb to store for next year's plant.
What would happen to a plant if it is cut off from carbon dioxide?

What are some examples of plant animal interaction adaptations?

Should the flower be cut from top of coleus?
Yes and no!, the coleus flower in my opinion is a great looking flower, but many people dont like its appearance, the flower should be removed if you want to keep the plant alive longer, as when it flowers it will also produce seed, once the seed is produced, the plant will deterioate and die off, great if you want to collect the seed but not if you want the plant to survive.
