Have you ever wondered what are all those bees and hummingbirds looking for inside the flowers. Well it is a sweet substance that the plant provides for them called nectar. The nectar is advertized by the petals. When the animal goes for the nectar, the flower passes on the pollen to it. That is why if you look carefully you´ll see a yellow dust all over them. That is the pollen. Since they will need to get more nectar, the animals go searching for another flower and during that process they transfer the pollen from flower to flower. The pollen is collected by the flower´s stigma and flows down the style and into the ovary were it will fertilize the ovule. Amazing!
