Plants do not have flowers all year round. When spring starts, new flowers appear. Flowers grow from stems.

3.1.- Parts of a flower.

Most flowers have petals, sepals, ovaries and stamens.

  • The petals are the coloured part of the flower. All the petals together are the corolla.

  • The sepals are the small green leaves which protect the flower before it opens. All the sepals together are the calyx.

  • The stamens and the ovary are in the middle of the flower. The stamens make pollen, and the ovary makes ovules.

  • When a male pollen joins with a female ovule, a seed is made.
