Flowers - amazing creatures of nature! For all peoples of the world, they are symbols of beauty. With the help of flowers, people express their feelings. Flowers and bouquets are given to loved ones, for anniversaries and holidays. Flowers throw the winners under the feet, weave into wreaths and dried in memory between the pages of books. Artists draw flowers, and poets compose poetry about them. It seems that nature has created flowers specifically so that people could admire them.

Meanwhile, almost all scientists argue that the plants possessing flowers arose on our planet long before the appearance of a person on it - tens of millions of years to the present day. Dinosaurs - reptiles that died out about 65 million years ago glided over the revealed buds of flowers.
