Under the flowers petals there are pockets that hold nectar. So, there are many, many different things about flowers and these are only a few!
Flower petals have only 3 main ingredients.
1of the 3 main ingredients is protein. Another one of the 3 ingredients is cellulose. The last ingredient is organic matter. So, the three main ingredients are... organic matter, cellulose, and protein.
