| Petal | used to attract insects into the flower, can be colorful and/or scented. |
| sepals | when the bud appears, the covering that protects and supports the petals. |
| pistil | female part of the flower that produces the seeds - consists of 3 parts: stigma, style & ovary. |
| stigma | the top of the pistil - the pollen grains stick to this small sticky pad. |
| style | middle structure of the pisitl; the pollen grains grow down through this stem-like cylinder. |
| ovary | where the young seeds (ovules) are protected - once fertilization takes place - it will become the fruit & mature seeds will develop. |
| ovule | young unfertilizied gamete - found in the ovary |
| stamen | male part of the flower-slender structures that hold the pollen, consists of two parts: anther & filament. |
| anther | top part of the stamen;contains pollen sacs. The sacs release pollen to the outside of the anther where insects brush against the anther - insects then transfer pollen from flower to flower. |
| filament | part of the stamen,a slender stem that supports the anther. |
| nectary | where a sugary solution called nectar is held to attract insects. |
