receptacle of flower

Flowers can attach to stems at widened spots {receptacle}.

calyx

Flowers have sepal concentric circles {calyx}|.

sepal

Flowers have calyx of outside leaflets {sepal}|.

petal of flower

Flowers have flowery leaves {petal}|.

4-Botany-Plant-Vascular-Angiosperm-Flower-Parts-Stamen

stamen

Flowers have anthers on structures {stamen}|.

4-Botany-Plant-Vascular-Angiosperm-Flower-Parts-Stamen-Anther

anther

Flowers can have male sex organs {anther}| {antheridia} to make male sex cells, which make pollen sacs on stamens.

microsporangia

Anther sacs {microsporangia} develop male sex cells into microspores.

microspore

Microsporangia develop male sex cells into four spores {microspore}. Two microspores are tube nuclei. Two microspores are generative nuclei. One tube nucleus and one generative nucleus make one pollen grain, so process makes two pollen grains.

pollen

One tube nucleus and one generative nucleus make one grain {pollen grain} {pollen}|. Pollen grains leave stamens to try to land on stigmas.

4-Botany-Plant-Vascular-Angiosperm-Flower-Parts-Pistil

pistil flower

Flowers have center structures {pistil, flower}|. Pistils have ovaries, styles, and stigmas.

stigma of flower

Pistils have top parts {stigma, flower}|.

style of flower

Pistils have middle parts {style, flower}.

carpel

Pistils have egg-making organs {carpel, flower}|, in which ovules develop.

ovule

Carpels have female sex cells {ovule}. Ovules develop to make eight nuclei, of which one becomes egg nucleus, two become polar nuclei, three are generative nuclei, and two form tube nuclei.

megasporangium

Ovules develop to make sacs {megasporangium}, with female spores {megaspore}.

archegonia

Flowers have female sex organs {archegonia}.
