Perfect flowers: A flowering plant's reproductive system generally consists of a male component called the stamen and a female component called the pistil. The male stamen is responsible for generating pollen, tiny particles of dust containing part of the plant's genetic code. This pollen must be delivered to the female pistil which provides its own genetic material in the form of an ovary and a place for the combined elements to mature into fruit. Perfect flowers have both stamens and pistils in the same structure and are not dependent on outside influences such as insects or wind to successfully pollinate. |
