Flower Objectives
• Describe the functions of each part of the
flower
The Reproductive Parts
Stamens
• The
stamens are
the male part of

Stamens Continued
Anther
• Part of the
stamen
• Produces and
holds pollen
Filament
• Stalk that holds up the anther
The Stigma
• The stigma is the
top of the female
part of the flower.
• Pollen from another
flower collects on
the stigma’s sticky
surface.
• Found at the end of
the pistil
Pistil
• The female part of the flower
Style
• The neck of the
pistil
The Ovary
• Part of the
pistil that
contains the
ovules
The Ovary
pollen
ovule
• The ovary protects
the ovules.
• Pollen travels to
the ovules and
fertilization takes
place.
• Now the ovules will
develop into seeds.
ovary
Ovule
• The part of the
flower in which
the eggs are
produced and
seeds develop

9. This is where
pollen is made
11. These

it opens
female part of the
flower, which
receives the pollen

this from flower
to flower

become seeds
after
fertilization

the seeds will grow
