So...if flowers drop off once plants are fertilised, how come they are in bloom for months?

The flowers in parks remain in blom throughout the season. If the flowerheads drop off and are replaced by seed packets, where do the floral displays come from and how come flowers in gardens remain in bloom constantly?

So...if flowers drop off once plants are fertilised, how come they are in bloom for months?
1) The process of fertilization is with reference to a particular flower and NOT the plant as a whole.



So the '' so...if flowers drop off once plants are fertilized, how come they are in bloom for months? " is an incorrect question.



2 ) When the process of fertilization is completed in a particular flower ( Pollination follwed by fertilization in side the ovary and ovule ; the floral parts begin to drop away one by one and only the ovary ( Pistil part ) remains and converted in to a fruit ( You have called it a seed packet ! ).



3 ) In spite of the facts mentioned in (2) above new flowers continue to be produced from the flowering buds and in their turn get fertilized and produce fruits !



4) The flowers in a garden will continue to bloom as long as the 'Blooming Period ' ( Flowering period ) is on. IT is irrespective of the fact that some of them have produced fruits.
