flower best answer:

Answer by Christina Q
Flowers are reproductive organs - they contain stamens (male parts of the flower, loaded with pollen) and stigmas (female parts of the flower, receptive to pollen from another plant of the same species).

Plants cannot move, and so they rely on other creatures - normally insects - to move their pollen for them. The insects must be attracted to the flowers so that they will pollinate them. Most of the time, the flowers produce nectar to attract the insects.

The bright petals are an advertisement, telling the insects that there is nectar or edible pollen available. Yellow flowers tend to attract insects, while red catches the eyes of most birds.

The petals are coloured so brightly because of pigments that are relatively easy for the plant to produce. These pigments can be all colours and combinations of them make the flowers colourful.
