Petals: This is a bright-coloured part that attracts bees and insects.

Sepals: Sepal is the green-coloured part beneath the petals to protect rising buds.

Stamen: This is the male reproductive organ and is also known as Androecium. It consists of two parts namely: anther and filaments.

• The anther is a yellowish, sac-like structure, involved in producing and storing the pollens.
• The filament is a thin, threadlike object, which functions by supporting the anther.

• Stigma: It is the topmost part or receptive tip of carpels in the gynoecium of a flower.
• Style: It is the long and slender stalk that connects stigma and the ovary.
• Ovary: It is the reproductive gland that holds a lot of ovules. It is also responsible for seed formation taking place.
