What's the difference between a flowering plant and a flower?

A flowering plant is a plant that produces a flower once then dies(annual) once a year (perrenial) or once every two years (bi-annual). The flower is the part of the plant that usually contains the parts for sexual reproduction (stamen/pistol) A flowering plant is made up of the flower, stem, roots (basically).


They differ from conifers because they are deciduous (loose leaves).


Conifers (evergreens) keep their leaves and produce cones.
What%26#039;s the difference between a flowering plant and a flower?
one is the plant itself , the other is the flower on the plant
Reply:Botanically speaking, a flower is only a part of a plant. It%26#039;s not the plant itself, just like a leaf or stem is only a part of the plant. rose = flower. rose shrub = flowering plant.


Think also of the cut flowers you see at the stores, the plant from which they were cut from are flowering plants.


Technically, most plants do flower but some are just more showy than others. For example, you would definitely notice a lilac shrub in flower but wouldn%26#039;t notice a boxwood in flower.
Reply:a flowering plant provides you with alot of green foilage for most of it%26#039;s life ie a rose bush. a flower is a plant that has some foliage but mostly a flower ie--a sunflower
Reply:A flowering plant is a plant that during some stage of of its life produces flowers.





The flower is the part that it is produced during the reproductive cycle of the plant





However, what to an observer looks like a flower, to be calcified as such, the female part of the flower must consist of at least a pistil, inside which the ovules will develop into seeds.


Happy Gardening
Reply:a flowering plant or angiosperm will produce a flower





a flower is the sexually reproductive part of a flowering plant
Reply:A flower is a flower and a flowering plant is a plant that usually has a lot of leaves and flowers only occasionally. Also a flower is either a perennial or an annual, meaning it either comes back for the next season or the annual needs to be planted every summer. The flowering plant can grow for a long time.Shoes
