Nectar & Pollen: a free large-print word search

Nectar & Pollen, a free, large-print word search deep inside the flower, where stamen, petal, and blossom do their quiet work.

About Nectar & Pollen

Every flower is a working machine, its parts shaped over millions of years to move pollen from one bloom to the next. The stamen rises from the center bearing its anther, dusted gold with pollen grains, while the pistil waits with its sticky stigma to receive them. Petals, sepals, and the hidden nectary are all in on the bargain, color and sweetness offered freely in exchange for a little help from the world passing by.
