Most plants that grow in meadows are flowering plants.

Flowering plants are also known as angiosperm plants. A flower is the reproductive structure of a flowering plant.

Plants use their flowers to lure insects or other pollinators to spread their pollen from one flower to the next. 

The pollen contains the plant's genetic material. When pollen from one plant comes to contact with the flower of another plant, the result is a seed. These seeds then grow into new plants.

The picture on the right shows a harebell. It is a flowering plant.
