THE SEXUALITY OF FLOWERS... Violets
#AbFav_MACRO
The reproductive structure of some seed-bearing plants like the violas (pansies) characteristically having either specialised male or female organs or both male and female organs, such as stamens and a pistil, enclosed in an outer envelope of petals and sepals.
The flowers of violets have 5 sepals (Sepals are one of the four basic parts of a flower.
They are found below the petals, that are persistent (remaining attached beyond the usual time) after blooming, and in some species the sepals enlarge after blooming.
The flowers have five free stamens with short filaments that are oppressed against the ovary, only the lower two stamens have nectary spurs that are inserted on the lowest petal into the spur or a pouch.
The flower styles are thickened near the top and the stigmas are head-like, narrowed or often beaked.
The flowers have a superior ovary with one cell, which has three placentae, containing many ovules.
Wishing you well and stay safe
