1. Angiosperm Flower Anatomy
Plant Propagation

2. Sexual vs. Asexual Propagation
Sexual>Seed>Variation in the offspring
Asexual (Vegetative)>Cloning>Uniformity in the offspring
Cuttings
Grafting
Budding
Layering
Division

3. Angiosperms vs. Gymnosperms
Angiosperms>flowering plants>fruit develops from the ovary>seeds are found inside the fruit.
Gymnosperms>means “naked seed”>fruit is typically a cone>seeds are found on the scales of the cone.
Pines, Spruces, Larch, Juniper, Fir, etc.

4. Angiosperm Flower Anatomy

5. Flower Anatomy Stamen = anther + filament
Male part of the flower
Anthers contain pollen
Pistil = stigma + style + ovary
Female part of the flower
The ovary contains one to many ovules

6. Perfect Flowers
Have both the male and female reproductive parts, i.e. stamens and a pistil

7. Complete Flowers Have all 4 of the main flower parts;
Pistil(s)
Stamens
Petals
Sepals
A flower lacking any of the above parts is referred to as being “incomplete”.
Can a flower be perfect and incomplete at the same time?

8. Special Flower Types
Staminate flowers
Pistillate flowers
