The immature cones perform as flowers - I have seen conifers (firs and spruces) in a high wind with great yellow clouds of pollen blowing from them. When these small pollen producing cones are cross-pollinated they develop into cones which bear the seeds. As the cones ripen and spread open the seeds - each with its individual propellor like wing - pop and fly out.
