Cotton Plant Flower Picture. The cotton plant's stem is the tree that helps the plant grow. Each seed is surrounded with downy fiber, white or creamy in color and easily spun.
While cotton (gossypium) has been around for a long time and grown mainly for its fibers, cotton growing with kids can be a fun learning experience. Not only is the cotton plant flower beautiful to observe for nearly its entire maturation cycle, it’s also interesting in how it develops from bloom to the final open boll.

Squares (flower buds) develop several weeks after the plant starts to grow, with flowers appearing a few weeks later.
