Flower Leperds
Flowers, also known as blooms and blossoms, are the reproductive structures of flowering plants (Flowering plant, angiosperms). Typically, they are structured in four circular levels, called whorls, around the end of a stalk. These whorls include: Sepal, calyx, modified leaves; Petal, corolla, the petals; Stamen, androecium, the male reproductive unit consisting of stamens and pollen; and gynoecium, the female part, containing Style (botany), style and Stigma (botany), stigma, which receives the pollen at the tip of the style, and Ovary (botany), ovary, which contains the ovules. When flowers are arranged in groups, they are known collectively as inflorescences. Floral growth originates at stem tips and is controlled by MADS-box genes. In most plant species flowers are heterospory, heterosporous, and so can produce gamete, sex cells of both sexes. Pollination mediates the transport of pollen to the ovules in the ovaries, to facilitate sexual reproduction. It can occur between ...
