Parts of a flower
Flowers vary in size shape and colour

but all flowers have the same basic parts the main parts of flowers are pedicel and thalamus
SHOT-2
calyx or sepals

corolla or petals

and androecium or stamens

Gynoecium or pistils

Shot-2

pedicel and thalamus

the flower is born on a stalk called pedicel

the uppermost end of the pedicel is swollen this swollen part of the pedicel
is known as the thalamus or receptacle

it bears all the four walls of a flower

calyx or sepals

the outermost world of a flower is calyx

it consists of leaf-like structures called sepals, sepals are usually green in colour

calyx also protects the flower during the bud stage

Shot-3

corolla or petals

corolla or petals is the second whirl of a flower

each segment of the corolla is known as petal

petals are usually brightly coloured due to the presence of pigments the bright colour

sweet smell and nectar attracts the insects

And androecium or stamens

It is the third floral world which is composed of one or more male reproductive organs called
stamens
each stamen consists of a thin stalk called filament

and two lobed head called anther

the anther and filament are connected by a connective tissue

each anther lobe has two pollen sacs

which are filled with pollen grain pollen grains are minute in size and
take part in reproduction

gynoecium or pistils
Shot-4

Gynoecium is the fourth world of a flower

which is composed of one or more female reproductive organs

called carpal ,
each carpel consists of an ovary style and stigma

the stigma is the terminal part of the pistol

it is sticky rough and hairy

stigma is meant for receiving pollen grains during pollination

Shot-5

This style is the thread-like structure

which connects the stigma with the ovary it is meant for raising the level of the
stigma basal swollen part of the pistol is called ovary
the ovary bears ovules on a swollen tissue called placenta

each ovary contains a female reproductive cell or egg

Shot-6

Complete flowers are the flowers which possess all the four whorls on it.
Incomplete whorls are the whorls which do not possess any one or more of the four whorls.
Unisexual flowers are the flowers which have either one of the reproductive structure i.e. either the
stamen, male reproductive structure or the pistil, female reproductive structure.
Bisexual flowers are the flowers which have both male and female reproductive structures, stamens
and pistil in them. Bisexual flowers are also called as hermaphrodite flowers.
