Flowering Plants

The photo above shows the showy petals of a fairy slipper orchid from the Cascade Mts. of the Pacific Northwest. Angiosperms with large showy petals (as in this case) tend to attract specific animals (usually an insect) to help spread the pollen.

Grasses are also examples of Angiosperms!
