flower petal
Colorful bloom fragment
A flower petal is one of the colorful, often delicate leaf-like parts that form the outer ring of a flower.
Petals attract pollinators and protect the reproductive parts within.
They vary widely in shape, size, and texture: rose petals scattered on the bed, the petals of a daisy.
Dried petals appear in potpourri and ceremonial uses.
