Photosynthesis occur in the chloroplasts of plant cells. There is a green pigment named chlorophyll (which is also why most leaves are green) in the chloroplast that helps the process. Flower petals do not have chlorophyll, so it won't absorb the necessary sunlight for photosynthesis to occur.

No, as flowers petals do not contain a pigment called chlorophyll n dis pigment is essential 4 d process of photosynthesis n thus flowers petals do not photosynthesise

no petals do not photosynthesis as the do not contain chlorophyll which is essentail for photosynthesis.
chlorophyll is contained in chloroplast which are found in green leaves.
as for the colour of the flower its due to the excretory products of the flower.(surprising)

Flower petals are specialized leaves that are intended to attract pollinators. They don't contain the chlorophyll that is necessary for photosynthesis.
