Flower Parts

• Flowers are important in making seeds. Flowers
  can be made up of different parts, but there are
  some parts that are basic equipment. The main
  flower parts are the male part called the stamen
  and the female part called the pistil.
• Other important parts of a flower are the petals,
  and sepals.

The Pistol

• The pistil has four parts stigma, style, ovary,
  and ovules.
• The stigma is the sticky surface at the top of a
  pistil that traps and holds the pollen.
• The style is the tube-like structure that holds
  up the stigma. The style leads down to the ovary
  that contains the ovules
• The ovary is usually at the base of the flower
  and has seeds inside that turn into the fruit
  that we sometimes eat
• The ovules are the part of the ovary that becomes
  the seed.

The Petals and Sepals

• Petals attract pollinators and are usually the
  reason why we buy and enjoy flowers. They are the
  colorful, pretty parts of the flowers.
• Sepals are the green petal-like parts at the base
  of the flower and help protect the developing
  bud.
