The very first homeschool unit we ever did was on Flowers! We've studied plants in lots of ways since then, with a unit on trees, a general botany unit, even honeybees. But it felt like a good time to come back to flowers. We talked about fruit and other parts of plants as well.

Here's my Flowers and Plants Pinterest Board
We dissected flowers, which is always interesting
Talked about the Fibonacci sequence in nature
We visited our friend's beautiful yard—she loves gardening and knows a lot about flowers!
She also showed us inside her cool studio where she does flower illustrations, among other things
Her hydrangeas were huge!
We tried dyeing flowers, with…moderate success. This never turns out as dramatic as you'd like. I think TONS of food coloring is the way to go, but maybe flower shops that dye flowers have other tricks too.
We grew microgreens
And collected water through transpiration
