Can you grow a flower by their petals?

No, you cannot grow a flower from its petals alone. Flowers typically propagate through seeds, cuttings, or bulbs, as petals do not contain the necessary structures to develop roots or a new plant. Some plants can be grown from cuttings that include a portion of the stem and leaves, but petals are not viable for propagation.


Why is the number of petals and sepals in a rose not equal in numbers?

The petals of a flower are for photosynthesis (for energy) and for attracting other organisms (with bright colors) such as birds, insects, and mammals that transfer pollen from flower to flower, a.k.a., pollination, in order to reproduce (also see "cross-pollination). The sepals contain more chlorophyll which gives plants their green color, and are used for protecting the flower while in it's "bud stage". Cross-Pollination: When pollen is moved from the male structure of a flower and carried to the female structure of another flower by wind, insects, mammals, and birds, as well as fish on some occasions.
