When a grain of POLLEN lands on the STIGMA it begins to send out a tube. This tube then grows down through the STYLE to the OVARY. When it reaches an OVULE, it releases male cells from the pollen grains. A male cell unites with a female cell in the OVULE. This process is called FERTILIZATION. The fertilized OVULE is a SEED. As the SEED grows, other parts of the flower change. The COROLLA withers and dies.The OVARY swells and changes into a FRUIT.   |

The SEEDS must now be distributed to new places to grow into new plants. |
