Red Things

Look at all the beautiful red things that are all around us from bright red flowers to dark red mushrooms.

Red Flowers

Beautiful red flowers attract butterflies, bees and other insects. When an insect visits a flower, pollen from that flower often sticks to the insect, and the insect then carries the pollen to the next flower. Flowers need pollen from other flowers to make seeds for new plants.

Red Butterflies
