Do flowers make photosynthesis?

Best Answers

Generally speaking, any part of a plant that is green (chlorophyll-bearing) can engage in photosynthesis, although the leaves are typically the most optimally adapted for the task. Most flowers that I know of are non-photosynthetic; they often bear colors other than green that serve to attract pollinators, be it insect, bat or bird. read more

Sepals are flower parts that are most often green, containing chloroplasts for photosynthesis to support flower growth. Sometimes it is hard to differentiate between sepals and petals, to the application of the term tepals. read more
