Daisies in California
An angiosperm, one of two classifications of seeding plants, are the most common type of plant (making up 90% of the plant population) and often come in the form of flowering plants. The flower itself is a highly specialized structure in order to help the angiosperm reproduce sexually. In this flower in specific, the long white petals are used to attract pollinators. The male parts of the flower include the stamen, filaments and anther, aiding in production of pollen while the female parts of the flower, the carpel, ovary, ovules, style, and stigma all involve helping the pollen develop into its secondary gametophyte stage.
