Answer:
Receptacle:
A receptacle sits at the top of a stalk underneath the main portion of the flower. It is often enlarged to support the weight of the flower, or the fruit when it develops. Its main function is to both connect the stalk to the flower and to support the flower.
Sepals:
The initial function of sepals is to provide support and protection for a flower bud as they close up around it until it's ready to bloom. The sepals surround the petals and the reproductive organs inside the flower and protect them from harsh environmental conditions and drying out.
Petals:
Petals are brightly coloured and scented to attract animals and insects for pollination. The calyx and corolla collectively called the perianth. Different forms of the corolla are found in the flowers. Stamen is also known as the third whorl of the flower and is the male reproductive part.
Stamen:
The pollen producing part of a flower, usually with a slender filament supporting the anther. Anther: The part of the stamen where pollen is produced. Pistil: The ovule producing part of a flower. The ovary often supports a long style, topped by a stigma.
Pistils:
In flowering plants, the female reproductive organ, the pistil, is composed of three parts: the stigma, style and ovary. The stigma develops a receptive surface to which pollen grains adhere and which also provides the conditions for compatible grains to germinate.

3)The most colourful parts of a flower are called petals.
4)Stamen is called the male part of the flower. It consists of a long tube-like structure called filament; and anther.
5) Female part of flower is called pistil. It is made of three parts ---- stigma, style and ovary or ovules.
