'''Flowering Plants''' are any [[Plant|plant]] that can grow [[Flower|flowers]] and [[Fruit|fruit]].
===About Flowering Plants===
'''Flowering Plants''' grow [[Flower|flowers]] in [[spring]]. When an [[insect]] or [[bird]] [[Pollinate|pollinates]] the [[Flower|flower]] it will die and a [[Fruit|fruit]] will grow behind it with [[Seed|seeds]] inside. (The [[Fruit|fruit]] is not always one that you can eat. Sometimes it's too tiny and sometimes it's [[Toxic|poisonous]].)

==Key Stage 2==
===Meaning===

|-
|1. In the right conditions a seed will [[Germination|germinate]].
|2. The [[seed]] develops a [[root]] and a [[shoot]].
|3. The [[shoot]] grows into a [[stem]].
|4. The [[shoot]] gets longer and [[Leaf|leaves]] grow.

|-
|5. A [[bud]] forms at the end of the [[stem]].
|6. The [[bud]] blooms into a flower.
|7. Once the [[flower]] is [[Pollination|pollinated]] the [[flower]] dies and a [[fruit]] grows.
|8. The [[fruit]] has lots more seeds inside it that can grow into new plants.
