Did you know that vegetable plants have flowers?

Yes, all flowering plants, including vegetable plants, have flowers. Flowers are the reproductive organs of flowering plants. They are responsible for producing seeds, which are the means by which flowering plants reproduce.

Now this is important, DO NOT PICK THE FLOWERS. If you do, the vegetables will not be produced by your garden. 

The flowers of vegetable plants vary greatly in size, shape, and color. Some flowers are small and inconspicuous, while others are large and showy. Some flowers are single, while others are double. Some flowers are fragrant, while others are not.

The flowers of vegetable plants are an important part of the plant’s life cycle. They are responsible for producing the seeds that will eventually grow into new plants. The flowers also play a role in attracting pollinators, such as bees and butterflies, which are essential for the reproduction of flowering plants.
