Flowers play an important role in the socio-cultural context of Man. There is hardly a special occasion where flowers are not used. Have you ever wondered why plants produce these beautiful things with sweet fragrance, and arresting colours?
Flowers are an essential part of plants. They serve the purpose of reproduction in them. Flowers are the part that produces seeds in plants. New plants grow out of seeds and thus the plant is able to produce its offspring.
Most flowers, despite their differences, have a similar structure. The centre of a flower contains stamens that have pollen cells and carpel or pistils of the flower. Usually, the petals of the flower are bright and colourful.
A set of leaves are found outside the petals of the flower and it is known as the calyx. Calyx is divided into segments called sepals.
