How do flowers make seeds? Pollen travels from the stamen of one flower to the style of another flower. It then burrows down the style to the ovule. Pollen and ovule join and grow into a seed. photo: Felicity Bradshaw 6
The flowers start to die. Seeds grow inside a woody seed case, called a follicle. Follicles are protected in a hard, woody fruit, called a nut. When seeds are fully grown, the follicles open and seeds fall to the ground. photo: Alex George 7
