Reproduction of a Flower

Stamen: the pollen-producing organ of the flower, which consists of the anther and filament

• Anther-pollen-bearing portion of the stamen
• Filament-the stem like structure that supports the anther

Carpel: a single pistil

• Stigma-the part of the pistil that receives the pollen
• Style-slender part of the pistil between the ovary and the stigma

• Ovary-the enlarged lower part of the pistil in angiospermous plants, enclosing the ovules or young seeds.  

Petal: one of the often colored segments of a flower
Ovule: a rudimentary seed
Sepal: one of the individual leaves or parts of the calyx of a flower
Receptacle: the modified or expanded portion of the stem or axis that bears the organs of a single flower or the florets of a flower head.


 Steps of Reproduction:

1.  pollen lands on stigma
2. pollen tube grows to ovary
3. egg is fertilized
4. the seed forms after fertilization
5. when the seed is ready, it disperses
6. the seed will then be carried somewhere by wind, or some other force of nature and land somewhere and germinate
