A flower is a blossom, that part of the "
angiosperm" (classification of plants that have flowers) that is concerned with the reproduction. There is a great variety of floral structure, but the basic organs and structures are similar. Each flower is borne with a stalk or 'pedicel', the tip of which is expanded to form a receptacle that bears the floral organs.
Parts of a Flower:
SEPALS : are first parts of the flower organ and are usually green and leaflike.
PETALS : are found above the sepals and normally are colored and vary greatly in shape.
PERIANTH : is the collective term for the rings of Sepals and Petals known as calyx and
corolla, respectively.
STAMENS : are the reproductive organs comprising the male organs ( androecium)
CARPELS : are the reproductive organs comprising of the female organs (gynoecium)
ANTHER : is that part of the stalk or tip which produces pollen.
OVARY : is a swollen base of a carpel which contains the ovules that later form the seed.
STIGMA : is an expanded structure connected to a style from the carpel.
PISTIL : is the term given to the style and stigma together.
POLLINATION ... FERTILIZATION
Here's how a flower is formed: Basically, when a pollen lands on a stigma, maybe carried there from the back of an insect, it grows a tube into the style and penetrates the ovule ( the egg container) via a hole called the 'micropyle'. Then two male sex cells from the pollen ease their way through the tube to fertilize the egg. An then, a bud (petite un-bloomed flower) is developed and in after a few days this bud would open up into a full bloom flower!
