Flowers are the essential part of many plants’ life cycles. They are also crucial to the life cycle and nourishment of insects and birds. Many beneficial insects need the sweet nectar from a flower to sustain themselves.  Ladybugs are a great example of this, if there aren’t enough aphids around for lunch they look for flower pollen and nectar. The more flowers, the more beneficial insects and bees can thrive.
