If you look carefully at a flower, you will see
that it is made up of many different parts.
Each part has an important job to do.
8
Sepals
sepal

• The sepals protect the flower before it opens.

9
Petals

• The petals attract pollinating insects with their
  bright colour and attractive scent.

10
Stamens

• The stamens are the male part of the flower.
• The plant makes pollen in the part of the stamen
  called the anther.

The Stigma
stigma

• The stigma is the top of the female part of the
  flower.
• The pollen from another flower collects on the
  stigmas sticky surface.

12
The Ovary
pollen

• The ovary protects the ovules.
• Pollen travels to the ovules and fertilization
  takes place.
• Now the ovules will develop into seeds.

This is the female part of the flower, which
receives the pollen
The male part of the flower
These attract insects
This is where pollen is made
Insects carry this from flower to flower
These protect the flower before it opens
These become seeds after fertilization
This is where the seeds will grow
