Petal
Petals are the often colorful parts of a flower that attract pollinators and can aid in the reproduction process.
Stamen
The stamen is the male reproductive organ of a flower, typically consisting of a pollen-covered anther and a filament.
Pistil
The pistil is the female reproductive part of the flower, typically consisting of the ovary, style, and stigma.
Anther
The anther is part of the stamen and is responsible for producing and releasing pollen grains.
Filament
The filament is the slender part of the stamen that supports the anther, helping position it to effectively release pollen.
Ovary
The ovary is the part of the pistil that contains ovules and will develop into fruit after fertilization.
Ovule
Ovules are contained within the ovary and develop into seeds after being fertilized by pollen.
Stigma
The stigma is the sticky top part of the pistil that captures pollen grains during fertilization.
Style
The style is the elongated stalk that connects the stigma to the ovary, and through which pollen tubes grow to reach ovules.
Sepal
Sepals are the green leaf-like parts that protect the flower bud before it opens and support the petals once in bloom.
