Life to future plant is passed on generations by seeds. Flower works to make seed and also vice versa. One purpose of the flower for its beauty is this. Insects and hummingbirds are attracted by the Color and perfume of a flower to aid in the pollination. Only certain insects and no others are admitted by some flowers. The stamens, pistil, and ovary are the chief seed-making parts. To protect these parts, many interesting flower shapes have been developed. If one understands its structure and how each part helps in the work of seed making flower’s beauty and perfection of form may be enjoyed more completely. A typical flower has four sets of organs. From the outside to the center, they are: petals, pistils, sepals and stamens. The leaflike sepals make up the calyx, or “cup.” the corolla is formed by the petals, or “little crown.” The perianth is formed by the calyx and the corolla together. A small leaf below the flower, when present, is the bract. Awns are stiff bristles that terminate some flower parts. There are no sepals or petals at all in the simplest flowers. a single pistil which is surrounded by the small flowers of grasses consist commonly of three stamens surrounding. They are said to be naked. Some flowers have no petals that are they are apetalous.
