A flowering plant. Also a bloom or blossom. A bud which has opened. On African Violets, flowers perform the reproductive function and include the anthers, calyx, carpels, filament, ovary, ovules, petals, pistil, pollen, sepals, stamens, stigma and style.
Ground grain or flour, which should not be confused with a plant's bloom because of the word's spelling.
The part of an angiosperm (flowering plant) that is specialized for reproduction, containing male and/or female structures.
n. (ME, flowre, flour, flur; OFr., flor, flur, flour, from L. flos, floris, a flower) the part of a plant containing or consisting of the organs of reproduction, either together in a monoclinous flower or separate in male and female flowers.
The part of the plant with reproductive parts usually with petals. A double flower with one or more rows of petals.
the part of the plant containing the reproductive organs.
(grass flower) 2(-3) lodicules, (-1,-2) 3(-6)stamens, and pistil with 2(-3) stigma branches; flowers are within a and part of the floret.
A shoot of determinate (limited in number) growth with modified leaves that is supported by a short stem; the structure involved in the reproductive processes of plants that bear enclosed seeds in their fruits.
the part of the flower that makes seeds
The reproductive axis of angiosperms consisting of sepals, petals, stamens, and carpels, although one or more of these may be absent.
Most plants pass on life to future plant generations by seeds. It is the work of a flower to make seed. All its beauty serves this one purpose. Color and perfume attract insects and hummingbirds to aid in the flower's pollination. Some flowers are so formed that they admit certain insects and no others. The chief seed-making parts are the stamens, pistil, and ovary. Many interesting flower shapes have developed that protect these parts.
the sexual reproductive structure of the angiosperms, typically consisting of gynoecium, androecium and perianth and the axis bearing these parts.
The reproductive structure of the anthophyta or angiosperms.
The reproductive organ of angiosperms; contains male and/or female parts. The ovules are covered by a protective tissue (the ovary).
The part of a plant that contains male and/or female reproductive parts.

the structure for sexual reproduction in the angiosperms, normally consisting of perianth, stamens and carpels.
The part of a plant where seeds are made.
The part of a plant that helps it grow new plants. The flowers have nectar and pollen in them. The nectar attracts bees and other insects, because it is a good liquid food. The pollen is a powder that must get to another flower to pollinate it. If a bee drinks nectar from a flower, it usually gets pollen on its body. Then, when it visits another flower for the same kind of plant, it accidentally delivers pollen to it. Once this happens, the flower dies and a fruit grows there. Seeds inside the fruit fall out somewhere new and grow a new plant. Flowers often have bright colors to attract insects.
organ containing smaller reproductive organs - carpel (female), stamen (male).
the reproductive unit of a seed-bearing plant
The reproductive structure of many plants, having either male (stamens) or female (pistil) organs or both male and female organs and normally enclosed by petals and sepals.
Flowerhead Flowering plant
condensed reproductive shoot of flowering plants, generally consisting of four whorls from the outside in: sepal, petal, stamen, and carpel; the diversity of flower form comes from variation of the general four-whorled structure
1. The reproductive structure of a flowering plant consisting of a pistil and/or stamen, and usually including petals and sepals. 2. Often applies to the reproductive organs of mosses.
A structure involved in sexual reproduction. It consists of the androecium (male organs) and gynoecium (female organs), surrounded by a corolla and a calyx. The male and female parts may or may not be in the same flower.
The reproductive part of a plant. It is usually composed of petals, sepals, stamens, and a pistil.
The reproductive part of the plant. Plants may have male only flowers, female only flowers, or both male and female flowers on the same plant. See the line drawing of flower parts
The reproductive structure of an angiosperm.
In botany, the characteristic sexual reproductive organ of angiosperms consists of stamens, carpels, petals, and sepals. In popular use, some plant field guides and plant identification manuals use “flower” to refer to gymnosperm cones. The official state flower of Maine is the white pine cone and tassel; the pine tassel is apparently the leaves. “Flower” often is used by nonbotanists to refer to an inflorescence or cluster of flowers, as in daisy and lilac.
The part of a plant from which seeds can develop. This flower has a bright red blossom and a sweet smell.
