Important Parts of a Flower 4 main parts Sepal Petal Pistil (or carpel) Stamen
Sepals Protect flower while developing from bud Look like green little leaves Collectively called CALYX http://www.familymanagement.com/holidays/flowers/flower_anatomy.html http://www.tutorvista.com/biology/petal http://www.enchantedlearning.com/subjects/plants/glossary/indexs.shtml#sepal IMAGES: http://greenspade.com/sepal http://explore.ecb.org/videos/VLC_media?P1=VLC068&REFERER=OTHER
Petals Member of COROLLA All the petals make the corolla Brightly colored part of a flower Used to attract pollinators http://www.tutorvista.com/biology/petal http://www.familymanagement.com/holidays/flowers/flower_anatomy.html Images: http://canvas-art-prints-uk.com/tag/don-tiffney/ http://www.layoutsparks.com/1/204029/plum-crazy-flower-petals.html http://www.layoutsparks.com/myspace-layouts/blue-welcome_213 http://images.mooseyscountrygarden.com/hampton-court-flower-show/hampton-court-flower-show/

Female Parts Continued Stigma Where pollen grains attach to Style Long filament structure Prevents pollen contamination Ovary Protects ovule; becomes fruit when fertilized Ovule Becomes seed when fertilized http://www.tutorvista.com/biology/parts-of-a-flower-0 http://www.familymanagement.com/holidays/flowers/flower_anatomy.html http://www.enchantedlearning.com/subjects/plants/printouts/floweranatomy.shtml
Male Parts: STAMEN 3 parts Anthers Connective Filament http://www.tutorvista.com/biology/flower-structure-and-function http://www.familymanagement.com/holidays/flowers/flower_anatomy.html Image: http://blog.mrmoss.org/?p=258
STAMEN continued Anthers Filament Produce pollen Contains thousands of pollen grains Pollen contains male sex cells Filament Holds the anthers Fine and hair like http://www.enchantedlearning.com/subjects/plants/glossary/indexs.shtml#stamen http://www.tutorvista.com/biology/flower-structure-and-function http://andromeda.cavehill.uwi.edu/flower_structure_and_function.htm IMAGE: http://okeechobee.ifas.ufl.edu/News%20columns/Jatropha.htm http://www.familymanagement.com/holidays/flowers/flower_anatomy.html

Types of Flowers Imperfect Perfect Complete Incomplete
Perfect Flower Has both Pistil (Female) and Stamen (Male) Examples: Lilies, Roses, dandelions, wheat, apple, tomato http://www.pssc.ttu.edu/pss1321/Web%20topics/cpa2.htm http://tomclothier.hort.net/seedsav1.html IMAGE: http://www.doctortee.com/dsu/tiftickjian/plant-anat/flower.html http://biology.clc.uc.edu/courses/bio106/angio.htm http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=rose&view=detail&id=F6F18545BB2296987813FCC5D782A82D9378A241&first=1&FORM=IDFRIR
Imperfect flower Has ONLY one type of reproductive organs STAMEN OR PISTILS Requires 2 flowers (1 male, 1 female) to reproduce Examples: Corn Cucurbit family Melons, gourds, cucurbits (cucumbers) http://www.doctortee.com/dsu/tiftickjian/plant-anat/flower.html http://biology.clc.uc.edu/courses/bio106/angio.htm http://tomclothier.hort.net/seedsav1.html

Male vs. Female Cucurbit
Complete Flower Has all 4 parts All complete flowers are Sepals, petals, pistil, stamen All complete flowers are perfect, but not all perfect flowers are complete.

Dioecious Has imperfect flowers on separate plants One plant is male, one plant is female Need 2 plants to reproduce Examples: Cucurbitaceae family http://biology.clc.uc.edu/courses/bio106/angio.htm http://www.eyefetch.com/image.aspx?ID=994993 http://www.flickr.com/photos/stonebird/22533760/
