According to evolution, gymnosperms or plants that produce seeds, but not true flowers are the original flowers.  Charles  Darwin called the appearance of flowering plants an abominable mystery as they seem to evolve from nothing, 

Now, new scientist has called Welwitschia mirabilisthe oldest the Namib desert. It lived among the palm-like cycads and ginkgo and Australian dino tree, theWollemi pine. - 

Well, the Darwinians have not solved the aabominable mystery.
