I usually go for late evening walk with my mother who is biology teacher.While walking, I saw many plants having coloured flowers . I also saw few plants having white flowers and I also smelled aroma being emitted by them. I was curious and asked my mother the following questions: a) Why do plants have various coloured flowers? b) Why do certain flowers emit aroma?
