Do you know the making of flower?

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 colours.

At the centre 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 rest, is the ovary. 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.
