Petal: brightly coloured to attract pollinators
Stigma: sits at the top of the carpel and is where pollen is captured. It is often sticky so that the pollen can be caught
Style: the tube that pollen travels down to the ovary, joining the ovary to the stigma
Ovary: produces and contains unfertilised seeds
Anther: pollen is produced here which is usually yellow and can be seen on the underside of pollinators after they have visited the flower
Filament: the tube that holds up the anther so that it is accessible for pollinators to reach or for the wind to blow the pollen
Sepal: leaf like protective cover that protects the flower when it starts to bud
Receptacle: the base of the flower that supports the weight of the whole flower structure and attached it to the plant stem
Stamen: the male reproductive part of the flower that is made up of the Anther and filament
Carpel: the female reproductive part of the flower that is made up of the stigma, style and ovary
