FLOWERS ARE THE SITES OF SEXUAL REPRODUCTION in flowering plants.Their component parts are arranged in whorls around the receptacle (tip of the flower stalk).The sepals (collectively called the calyx ) are outermost; typically large and brightly coloured ;they are found inside the sepals .In monocotyledonous flowers , sepals and petals are indistinguishable.; individually they are called petals (collectivity called the periastron).The petals surround the male and female reproductive structures.(androecium and gynecologic ),The androecium consists of stamens (male organ);each stamen is made up of a filament (stalk) and Anther.The gynoecium has one or more carpels (female organs);each carpel consists of an ovary ,style, and stigma.Some flowers like lily,occur singly on a pedicel (flower stalk);others(e.g,elder sunflower) are arranged in a group (inflorescence) on a peduncle (inflorescence stalk).
