The ovaries of the flower

In the process of flower reproduction, first, the male part of the flower (stamen) produces pollen, containing the plant's sperm cells. Next, the female part of the plant, the carpel, receives the pollen. Then, nature helps spread the pollen with bees and the wind, and has the pollen travel to different plants. From there, once the pollen gets to other stigmas of other plants, that pollen fertilizes the ovaries in the next plant.
