A flower, sometimes known as a bloom or blossom, is the reproductive structure found in flowering plants (plants of the division Magnoliophyta, also called angiosperms). The biological function of a flower is to mediate the union of male sperm with female ovum in order to produce seeds. The process begins with pollination, is followed by fertilization, leading to the formation and dispersal of the seeds. For the higher plants, seeds are the next generation, and serve as the primary means by which individuals of a species are dispersed across the landscape. The grouping of flowers on a plant is called the inflorescence.

In addition to serving as the reproductive organs of flowering plants, flowers have long been admired and used by humans, mainly to beautify their environment but also as a source of food.

A. If you watch it again, try looking in the credits at the end, usually they say where the clothes in the movie were designed. I think it's in Pink Woman, or it could be another program. Their clothes are so nice!

What sort of clothing would look nice with a blurred floral pattern on it?
Q. I've found this second hand duvet cover which has a blurred floral pattern on it and I can't decide what to make with it. I was thinking maybe a playsuit/ Jumpsuit or a skirt. Not sure what sort of skirt though rierie - you didn't really read the question properly did you because your answer doesn't help at all. I'm asking what sort of clothing would look nice with a blurred floral pattern on it not with it.
