Wildflowers are flowering plants that grow and reproduce naturally in the wild, without human cultivation, hybridization, or selective breeding. Studying wildflowers is essential to plant science because they represent native genetic diversity, ecological adaptation, and the evolutionary pressures that shape plant populations. Research on wildflowers informs conservation biology, pollinator ecology, and our understanding of how plants interact with their native environments.
