As the roots dig down into the soil the plant begins to emerge.

4. Through photosynthesis, the plant uses sunlight to grow.

6. The flower’s colourful petals and sweet smell attracts butterflies.

8. Butterflies like to perch on flowers as they search for nectar to drink.

10. When the butterfly flies away it takes some pollen with it to a new flower.

12.Pollen grains that fall onto the top of flower’s stigma can begin to germinate.

14. Cells from the pollen travel down the tube to fertilize the ovules.

16. After the ovules are fertilized, the petals begin to wither and eventually fall off.

18. As the ovules grow into seeds, the ovary begins to expand and becomes the flower’s “fruit”.

19. Under the right conditions, these seeds will grow into new flowers. 
20. The life cycle starts over once again.

2.       Roots grow from the seed, feeding on nutrients and water from the soil.
