"What's with the flowers?" - ―Dr. Rodney McKay and Colonel Samantha Carter[src]
A flower, sometimes known as a bloom or blossom, is the reproductive structure found in flowering plants. In addition to serving as the reproductive organs of flowering plants, flowers have long been admired and used by humans, mainly to beautify their environment but also as a source of food.
In 2005, Lt. Laura Cadman suggested to Dr. Rodney McKay that he should pick Katie Brown wildflowers for his date with her since she was a Botanist who never got to go off-world. (SGA: "Duet")
