Flowers are the reproductive structures of flowering plants, known as angiosperms. They typically consist of four main parts: petals, sepals, stamens, and carpels. Petals are often colorful and attract pollinators, while sepals protect the flower bud. Stamens produce pollen, and carpels contain the ovary, where seeds develop. The characteristics of flowers can vary widely among species. Some flowers are large and showy, while others are small and inconspicuous. Additionally, flowers can be solitary or grouped in clusters, and they may have different shapes, sizes, and scents, all of which play a role in attracting specific pollinators.
