Answer:

Blooms are alluring and show up in various hues and shapes to draw in pollinators who help in dust move. Most blooms have four primary parts: sepals, petals, stamens, and carpels. The stamens are the male part though the carpels are the female piece of the blossom.

Sepal: The outer parts of the flower (often green and leaf-like) that enclose a developing bud.

Petal: The parts of a flower that are often conspicuously colored.

Stamen: The pollen producing part of a flower, usually with a slender filament supporting the anther.

Anther: The part of the stamen where pollen is produced.

Pistil: The ovule producing part of a flower. The ovary often supports a long style, topped by a stigma. The mature ovary is a fruit, and the mature ovule is a seed.

Stigma: The part of the pistil where pollen germinates.

Ovary: The enlarged basal portion of the pistil where ovules are produced.

Receptacle: The part of a flower stalk where the parts of the flower are attached
