A flower consists, first of all, of a pedicle, or stem, that joins it to the plant. The stem broadens out into a hollow cup known as the receptacle. This is surrounded by green sepals which form the calyx. The flower’s petals grow from the calyx in all kinds of shapes and colors.

At the center of the flower there is a part that resembles a long necked bottle. This is the pistil. The top of the pistil is called the stigma, the neck is called the style and the bottom, which is wider than the bottom, which is inside the ovary lie several tiny grains called ovules. Each one of these grains will become a seed. The ovary around the seeds will grow larger and turn into a fruit. The pistil is surrounded by several thread-like filaments, the stamens. At the top of each stamen there is a bag like structure called the anther which contains the pollen.
