Plant Morphology <br />The Parts of a Flower <br /><br />Peduncle: The stalk of a flower. <br />Receptacle: The part of a flower stalk where the parts of the flower are attached. <br />Sepal: The outer parts of the flower (often green and leaf-like) that enclose a developing bud. <br />Petal: The parts of a flower that are often conspicuously colored. <br />Stamen: The pollen producing part of a flower, usually with a slender filament supporting the anther. <br />Anther: The part of the stamen where pollen is produced. <br />Pistil: The ovule producing part of a flower. The ovary often supports a long style, topped by a stigma. The mature ovary is a fruit, and the mature ovule is a seed. <br />Stigma: The part of the pistil where pollen germinates. <br />Ovary: The enlarged basal portion of the pistil where ovules are produced.
