Illustration of the parts of a flower
Flower anatomy. Illustration of parts of a flower, seen in longitudinal section. The flower is borne on a stalk, with the floral parts attached to a thickened receptacle. Sepals (green) are leaf-like structures that enclose and protect the flower when it is still a bud. Larger petals (red) are usually brightly coloured and may serve to attract pollinators. Within the petals are the male stamens, each made up of a filament and an anther bearing pollen. At centre is the female ovary (here cut through) bearing one or more ovules which may become seeds. The ovary has a long style with a stigma at its tip

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a flower's anatomy. In this detailed illustration, we are presented with a longitudinal section of a flower, revealing its various parts and their functions. The flower gracefully emerges from a slender stalk, while its floral components attach to a thickened receptacle. The sepals, depicted in vibrant green hues, enclose and safeguard the delicate bud before it blooms into full splendor. Standing out prominently are the larger petals that boast striking red tones; these alluring petals often serve as nature's invitation to pollinators. Delving deeper into the heart of the blossom, we encounter the male stamens composed of filaments and anthers laden with pollen grains. These essential reproductive structures play a vital role in fertilization. At the very center lies the female ovary which has been meticulously cut through for our observation. Within this ovary reside one or more ovules that possess immense potential to develop into seeds once fertilized by pollen grains. A long style extends from this ovary culminating in a stigma at its tip—a crucial site for pollen reception during pollination. This stunning artwork not only celebrates nature's exquisite design but also serves as an educational tool for botany enthusiasts and anyone fascinated by plant life.
