Are all flowers colorful?

Some plants do not have flowers. Nearly all the plants you see around you are flowering plants: trees, bushes, vines, grasses and the "weeds". The flowers may not be big and showy, but they are there if you look for them. When flowering plants spread all over the world, about a hundred million years ago, they pushed aside the ferns and mosses and cone-bearing trees that had covered the planet for many millions of years. Of course, those plants are still here but they no longer have the planet to themselves as they did before the development of the super-successful flowering plants.


What are pigments in biology?

Pigments are molecules that give color to organisms. In biology, pigments are often involved in processes like photosynthesis (chlorophyll pigments in plants), camouflage (melanin in animals), or sexual attraction (carotenoid pigments in birds). Pigments can absorb and reflect different wavelengths of light, leading to variety in colors observed in nature.
