The strawberry leaves grow upright, and after you have an abundance of them you will then see straw-like stems growing up from the crown of the plant and off other leaf branches, with buds on the end of them. These will be the blossoms where the berries will grow from when the flowers die and the petals drop.

No insect pollination is needed to get a crop of berries, as the plants are self-pollinating. Don't worry if the first few blossoms drop, with no berries. Once the plant gets going and takes off, the blossoms will pollinate each others and lots of fruits will develop. No hand-pollinating is necessary. They're easy to grow.
