Strawberry flowers are small and can be white, blue/purple, yellow/golden, or red/pink, and they can tolerate shadier sites and five-petaled flowers. That grows on the strawberry plant in early spring. They are hermaphrodites, meaning they have both male and female parts. The male parts include the pollen-carrying portion of the flower, and the female parts must individually receive pollen grains to attain complete pollination. Strawberry flowers can pollinate themselves, but there is a chance of cross-pollination with pollen from a neighboring plant.
