flower
flower Reproductive structure of a
flowering plant. It has four sets of organs set in whorls on a short apex (receptacle). The leaf-like sepals protect the bud and form the calyx. The brightly coloured petals form the corolla. The stamens are stalks (filaments) tipped by anthers (pollen sacs). The carpels form the pistil, with an ovary, style and stigma. Flowers are bisexual if they contain stamens and carpels, and unisexual if only one of these is present. Reproduction occurs when
pollen transfers from the anthers to the stigma. A pollen tube grows down into the ovary where
fertilization occurs and a seed is produced. The ovary bearing the seed ripens into a
fruit and the other parts of the flower wilt and fall.
