Explanation:
Horticulturalists classify flowers in two ways, complete, or incomplete. A complete flower has a pistil, stamen, petals and sepals. An incomplete flower is missing one or more of these parts. If a flower is missing the petals it is apetalous. If the sepals are missing it is asepalous. Horticulturalists classify flowers missing the petal and sepal as naked.
Purpose of the Sepal
Sepals are leaf-like parts that enclose the flower bud. They are located at the lower part of a flower. The sepals fold over and protect the closed bud from weather or injuries while developing. Usually, there are either two or five sepals on a flower.
Purpose of the Petals
The main job of petals is to attract hummingbirds and insects so that pollination may occur. Petals also protect the stamen and pistil, the parts of the plants needed for reproduction. Glands at the base of the petals, called nectaries, produce a sweet nectar. The nectar, the fragrance and the colors of the petals are what attract the pollinators. Flowers' ability to attract pollinators using coloring and scent is demonstrated by the honeysuckle. The honeysuckle’s flowers attract insects and hummingbirds during the day with showy, attractive flowers. At night, the sweet scent attracts moths.
