PARTS OF A FLOWER

Flower

Flowers are the reproductive organs of the flowering plant.

The main structures of a flower include:

• Sepal - The sepal is a support structure for the petal. It is typically green and helps to protect and hold up the petal. All the sepals together are called the calyx.
• Petal - The petals are the bright colorful leaves of the flower. The petals are often bright and colorful in order to attract insects that help with pollination. All of the petals together are called the corolla.
• Stamen - The stamen is the part of the flower that produces pollen. There are two main parts of the stamen: the filament and anther.
• Filament - The filament is the stalk that holds the anther.
• Anther - The anther is made up of lobes that attach to the filament. These lobes hold sacs which contain pollen.
• Pistil - The pistil is the female part of the flower. It contains the carpel and the stigma.
• Stigma - The stigma is the area where pollen is received. The stigma may be located at the end of a stalk called the style.
•  Ovary of the flower and contains ovules which are potential seeds.
