I know that green plants have chloroplasts, which have chlorophyll inside.  
(1) What about parts of green plants that are not green (e.g.: flower 
petals).  
(2) What about plants that are not green?  Do they have chloroplasts or 
chlorophyll?
(3) Why do leaves turn colour in Autumn?  Does this have to do with the number 
of chloroplasts in the leaves?
